Damn, who told him he could come along and play!!

Should be fun seeing how all of the 450's go against each other

12 Jarrod Wintle Yamaha R450
27 Chris Osborne Ozzy 450R
38 Duncan Keene Suzuki GSXR450R
43 Shane Taylor Triumph TT450
307 Trevor Delany Yamaha R450

Although Trevor Delany is down for F2 but not F3 at round 4??

I always liked the inside. As others have mentioned, try to be within a foot of the inside track at 'that' point. Being on a 150, I'm guessing you don't need to go too wide, otherwise you are covering needless real estate. The important part is to look for the bump asap and head in that direction, as you get closer and your happy your on the right trajectory, look past that bump (not at it!) and try and make sure you cross through it with at least some throttle on, this will give your suspension an easier time and any misbehavior will be auto corrected/sorted out faster. If there is no one to pass let the bike drift out a little and then bring it back in tighter for the rest. If there is someone in front, do not use their line, if they are tight, but you are to far away to go around, go a little extra wider then cut hard under them and gas it, if they brake earlier than you for the sweeper (do 150's brake for the sweeper?) you can either cut across them (to a point ) nicking off with their line, or simply ride around the sweeper and them on your chosen line providing you are confidant with your speed to pull off the pass.
If they are out wide after the bump, cut through on the inside, try and stay tight later than you normally would, so that way it makes it harder for them to pull of the same move on you that I described earlier It also will give you a chance to take a line through the sweeper that lets you cut under them on the exit and hopefully get to the line 1st

what you have described is what i managed to do to a 250 (i was on the 150) and beat him across the finish line by a couple of bike lengths...

and


No .. the 150's don't need to brake for that last sweeper on the long track...

Yeah no braking...and it feels awesome!! Feels like you are absolutely flying!! Best part of the long track

Having never tried the long track, I reckon just chuck it in and hang on. At worst you'll fall off.

But that's nothing new eh Rach..

Nyahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahaha ahhh

[quallman1234]

a 150 os probably worse pretty much like a SV going over they pogo stick atleast the 125 has decent suspension

Rather be on the 150! At least those pogo over em..

Ahhh i think i'd take the 125 over the harley!

Yay racing tommorow!

Racing 883 Harleys was no problem on bumpy tracks actually. It was that heavy it used to flatten them all out.

well weather isnt completely shite! its kinda wanting to clear..............

[quickbuck]

I do love long track .....hope its dry for you.....it might have something to do with few good laps last year ......CHALLENGE to your F3 hard cores!!!! 2:02.6

A Darn shame it was wet/damp, and they got no where near it.....

Also a shame for Rach, I hope the body isn't as injured as I fear....
