Hey guys, I'm lingering around the 1:55 mark

I think I'm supposed to be in Medium Slow however last two times I've been in it I feel I'm in the fastest 2 - 4 riders.

I heard medium fast should be doing under 1:50 as a rule of thumb, do you think it'll be ok for me to jump into Medium Fast? I really want to get quicker and I think chasing the faster guys will help me rapidly improve.

I'll pay tomorrow *Thumbs up*

I was doing about 1:53 in the medium fast group before my stack and that was an ok pace for that group IMO. Give the M.F group a go :ayyy:

[Poyda]

Absolutely, step up and you'll pick up the pace soon enough

It really does depend on the day. I had a mate doing 1:47's on his 1000RR and he was one of the quickest in A Grade...

I'd suggest booking in to B1 and then going to B2 on the day if you find the session too tough, though I'm sure you won't! Easier to convince officials you want to go down a group than up a group on the day!

[Fezz]

Hey guys, I'd also like to come along to this trackday if at all possible?

[stormr]

I'm heading down to Phillip Island tomorrow for a ride day there on Monday. I didn't think the finances would stretch to another day at the track this month but I've cut my trip down from 7 days to 5 so I'm a goer for the 26th. Put me down in B1 Biggie. My details are as per my last 2 ride days.
I'll transfer funds this arvo.

That's right! Have no illusions, Honda's stay together below and above that speed :ayyy:
But somehow I don't think that problem was entirely Suzuki's responsibility. :D

[MATTK6]

nah, it wasnt the manufacturer, it was a personal mishap:cursing:

[Zee]

Should I finish him???

Nah! I'm not that much of a bastard.

Yeah, manufactures have a better strike rate towards reliability than us mere mortals.
We really need to triple check key points on our bikes to avoid unnecessary accidents.
I feel your pain dude.

[MATTK6]

thanks mate, and let me put a question out to everyone here.
HOW OFTERN DURING A TRACK DAY, DO YOU CHECK YOUR REAR AXLE NUT?
or WHO HAS THERE AXLE NUT WIRE LOCKED?
:lmao:

[trumpst]

thanks mate, and let me put a question out to everyone here.
HOW OFTERN DURING A TRACK DAY, DO YOU CHECK YOUR REAR AXLE NUT?
or WHO HAS THERE AXLE NUT WIRE LOCKED?
:lmao:
Good Point:ayyy: And for that matter, how often on a track day do we check anything? (Note to dr nick:) and johnb:hatter: )

[Zee]

In preparation for every track day.
Having worked on street bikes, things come loose all the time and sometimes it's surprising at actually what does.
Although, a axle nut is one thing that hasn't crossed my path (coming loose) not saying it can't happen, just extremely rare.
I'd first look at the procedure in fitment, I think we overlook that.
And a tip. Never put a bolt or a nut on loose without tightening immediately. Once distracted you may not return to the same point at which you left. Also get into the habit of checking every fastener you replaced after assembly.
Don't assume it's done, check it, it only takes a minute.

[MATTK6]

my sentiments exactly, and mono, your right there, that's normally when i use to check mine, but from now on, i wont have to worry about the nut coming loose cause i'm gonna wire lock the bloddy thing on there:lmao:

[kellz]

what about wire locking the rider on to???? :lmao:

[MATTK6]

this little rider hasnt fallen off at the track yet, so i wont worry about that atm, but when it does fall off, i'll look into it:lmao:

[chunks]

G'day, please include me in the track day if possible, cheers cam

[Kat00]

HOW OFTERN DURING A TRACK DAY, DO YOU CHECK YOUR REAR AXLE NUT?


Yep, I do. Every trackday.

Engine mounts, sub frame, axles, callipers. ect.

Got the torque settings written on my tool box.

Overkill? Perhaps, but Ive had bolts rattle off 2 different Gixxers I have owned after long road rides.
For it to happen more than once to me was enough for me to decide to check em.

[mrstompy]

i only check the fuel level and tyre pressure.

now in saying that i know ive just jinxed myself.

[POZA]

i just joined in your club and this track day sounds good.please count me in.Thanks

[Bigdog]

Dallas, there is only A and C grade left mate. There was a large booking from Oroads so there are not many spots left.

[dungbeetle]

go for A group dallas. im gonna go there if someone needs a b1 this time.

[Dezerteagle]

Can I ask, would A group be all under 1:50? Or quicker even?

[Bigdog]

On some days there are racers there that are in the 1:30's, but there are usually a few guys that are in the low 1:50's too. You have to be able to hold a line as some of the fella's come up on you pretty quick sometimes and can pass pretty close.

[dallas]

flair enough... would prefer to stay in B1 at this stage though, so if you want to go up to A grade Dungy, then i'll take your B1 spot.... or should i be lookin at Kat00 to step up for me? ;-)


D

[_chado77]

ive got another for C grade..is there still room..if so i will transfer $$ right now

[Zippa]

Dallas, I'm looking to go up to A from B1, just depends on what Jmuzz decides. He is going to let me know as soon as he can.

Counting down the hours... excited no ? haha

[jasonbw]

Hey Dallas, you can hire them though up there, I think.. check their website... fingers crossed...

Worst case theres still a few hours till midnight, do you have road tyres that you'd prefer to use instead of worrying about warmers? I can change your tyres at home here in Bally. .. if you want just give me a call 42840997.

[Turtle]

Wish I could go.............................:(

[jasonbw]

I heard from the IRA site some bad news about a T1 accident today, possibly a RATs member... is there any news on the condition? :(

I also heard there was almost no track time due to a A group engine blowing itself at the end of the straight (prob what caused the above T1 accident that happened in the very next session)... but thats not important right now, hope everyone is okay!!!

Bugger, hope you're mistaking, Im going to see guys in few mins now, hope everything is ok :confused1:

[Prettyboy]

Apparently the young lady that came off T1 was not in good shape. Blue NSR track bike

Compound fracture on her right arm, along with fractured shouler, plus bruising. Second hand info mind you.

I only got 1 session in, ran out of talent exiting turn 3 first lap of session 2. Ended up in the gravel, destroyed right and top fairing along with my helmet.

Hopefully back together by 11th

[jasonbw]

Turn 3 Gravel?? At least your okay mate, good to hear that... sounds like you've got spares ready - nice work.

"Ran out of talent"... I like that :)

[seraph]

hope the ones who came off get better soon, bikes'n'bones all :(

dropped in to do a pirate delivery and pickup, was watching the bikes with big puppy dog eyes... gotta fix my track bike, gotta get back out there :D -J.

I am really sorry to hear that, Joel. How did you get home? If it makes you feel any better, I'm sick as a dog today. :(

[Wiccad]

This does not sound good, I know a certain young lady with a blue NSR track bike that was going to EC today:( . Will see what I find.

[MATTK6]

sorry to hear about the peoples going down today and hope they all recover quickly from it, and hope they have a small repair bill for the bikes:ayyy:

[Zippa]

Yep several RATS members had days they would rather forget.

The lady on the Blue NSR250 is Rachael aka Joyrider. Her crash wasn't related to the oil spill as that was on the straight & stopped before T1 where the rider pulled over next the pit wall. As mentioned Broken arm, broken colarbone & suffering from shock.

Not sure of the owner (Jordan maybe??) but there was a GSXR???? with a blue/white tank & orange track fairings going home early from the garage. Jay on the Red/white/green RGV250 seized a motor but luckily didnt crash. Chad on his CBR600 also had an excursion though I'm sure once the 24Hr time period is up we will here about it.

Theer were some strange incidents today with a bike blowing a motor coming onto the straight, a MV Agusta Senna also blowing a motor though somewhere else on the track, 5 RATS guys trying to change one tyre, so even though not a lot of riding it was all still happening.

I'm sure as people get home & recover from such a stressful day full accounts of the days activities will be posted.

Thanks to the RATS organisers for another top notch day, great fun again.:ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

[Wiccad]

Ahh damn, I thought it might have been Rachel. Not good.

[VINNIE]

Apart from the spills,the day was good.I ended the first session by coming around turn 12 with the back end slidding all over the place.Pulled in to the pits and put the rear stand on,to find i have a rear puncher:cursing: .So i took the bike down to the tyre garage and their compresser has shit it self :confused1: .Long story short,it took about an hour and a half to fix and i did not miss a session because of the two incedents(oil spill in A group and Joyrider coming off on turn 1.).Most of all i would not have been able to make it back on the track if it was not for our Illawarra/RATs brothers.

Thanks to:
Zippa
Jay
Chado (i owe you $25 bucks mate)
and the bloke whos name i can not remember(you know who you are)

You guys can be my pit crew anytime :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

It was good to see a lot of faces drop in to say G'day

But the best thing about today for me was,i have a new PB of 2:05 :mod_smilie_rockwoot not long now and i will crack the 2 minute mark :ayyy:

Last of all i wish a speedy recovery to Joyrider and to Jay,Chado and Jordan i hope you guys won't be of the track to long

[_chado77]

yip was a weird day..

1st session for me ended 3 laps in.. got my 1st trailer ride back to the pits

it was just a bike gremlin.. just added a litre of oil and it went again..

so back out to session 2 ...mind you this was like 12.30 though with a few incidents mentioned above

then session 3 was when things went really pear shaped..

turn 4.. starting to get into a groove and was stepping things up...

so ive low sided at T4 at good speed.. i slid on tarmac hit the grass started rolling/tumbling back onto tarmac(now shitting myself thinkin that i was back on the track), kept silding back onto grass and done a few more tumbles..picked my self up winded checked my self out nothing major.. got my breathe etc.. so went and tryed to pick up bike.. got bout half way down then the rib pain really hit.. there was no way i could even get down low enough to pick it up..

the pick up crew arrive and the first thing they said was you slid along way..overall IMO i slid 30+ metres, with others saying you went much further then that:eyecrazy:

quick trip to medical centre their predictions cracked rib, bruising and friction burn on arm..so sore but could of been much worse:ayyy:

i think i have either got on the gas too hard/early(most likely) or my poor body positionin has caused me to dig my brake lever and lock up rear.. either way im happy ive walked away..

heres a photo of my brake lever and what i did to it in the session before crash.. obviously it was still attached to the bike at the time..

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h144/_chado77/DSC01160.jpg

and heres my Tacho.. is this is correct i went down doin at least 11500rpm in third which by estimation is bout 150-60k's

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h144/_chado77/DSC01158.jpg

will post more phots soon

[Bigdog]

It was an eventful but mostly fun trackday yesterday. As always the company was excellent and some of the members were riding really well.
Unfortunately there were a few crashes that have already been discussed and I wish all of them and their bikes a speedy recovery and hope they will be able to join us again soon.
I had an excellent day and Falco finally got the monkey off his back and is starting to get used to his R6.
As Vinnie said it was nice to see some of our members turn out to watch and offer their moral support. It was nice putting some faces to the names on the site after meeting and talking to people throughout the day and I look forward to doing this again at EC on the 17th June. See ya's there.

[GRL13]

guyz n girlz, sorry that i didn't show yesterday I had 13 hours of work, and as most of you know that I've bin out of work for 4 months. so yesterday was worth about 500 for me.

I will endeavor to catch up wit ya'll soon.

bugger about the track movin under ya's.

[gsx10]

sorry to hear about all the bad news from yesterday but overall it seemed like most people had fun.

just thought I should post up a thanks to everyone who organised it once again, awesome day.

I managed to finally scrape my slider. :) also think I'm getting quicker on my 600 track bike than my 1000 now.

bigdog, i think falcos monkey jumped onto my back. 1.52 was best i could do and struggled to keep it on track at that pace (dont laugh dunno or im not coming to your bucks day) how big was his monkey anyway, i think im about 10 kg heavier than last time i rode there?:piss2:

[Dunno]

You sure it wasnt your timing device? :lmao:

[joyrider]

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I am really sorry that you had to wait an hour plus for me to be taken off to hospital.

I came off on turn 1 yesterday. Not sure what happened. I was cruising along and all of a sudden my bike "stopped" with no warning, I was flung over the handle bars and before I knew it my right shoulder smashed into the track Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I think my bike seized or something like that. :cursing::confused1:

I haven't seen the bike but I have heard that it isn't pretty.

My right collar bone is broken and I have heavy bruising on my right arm and upper leg. I feel very lucky that that was the extent of my injuries.

I was given morphine which has made me feel very drowsy and sick although it took away the pain for a while.:eyecrazy:

I am pretty nervous and shocked. I don’t think I will be riding for a while as it will take a few months for my bone to heal. I would absolutely love to do a track day again if I can overcome my fear because they are awesome:mod_smilie_rockwoot .

Rachael

[dungbeetle]

good that ya up and about rachael. collar bone isn t to bad. barts was all plated and healed up in 3 weeks. i couldnt beleive it when he showed me the scar the other day!!! give it a month or 2 and youll be stinging to get back out there!! lemme know if ya need any parts for ya bike cause i get some pretty good prices from the states.

[Bigdog]

Glad to hear that your in good spirits and mostly ok Rachael. We were all a little shocked at the accident and I hope you heal up quick and get back out to the track again soon. :ayyy:

[dallas]

ya, sorry to hear racheal.... at least your up and about now..

again, big thanks for the organisers, and the guys who make trackdays so enjoyable...

overall, i had a top day. managed a PB of 1:49, and i know i can drop a couple of seconds off still... bring on OP

D
HappyDays

[Zee]

I am really sorry that you had to wait an hour plus for me to be taken off to hospital.

Don't worry about that Racheal, thats not your fault, thats more to do with the EC organisers.
Get fit and back on a bike quickly :ayyy:

[mrstompy]

good on ya joyrider for letting us all know you are ok.

glad to hear that it isnt as bad as the rumours that were circulating.

dont be sorry for the hold ups. no one would ever blame you for that. i think everyone would agree that it is more important that you are ok.

anyway i hope you heal quick and can get back in the saddle quick to show turn one who is boss.

thanks to the organisers of this track day too.
we had a great day and it was good yarning to you all in the pits.
looking forward to the next one.

[BART]

Joyrider,
Wishing all the best in your recovery. Speaking from experience (I busted my left collarbone at OP last month) it is a shitter but once you get the first week out of the way, you will feel better everyday. It's great that you posted and let everyone know that you are ok.

Bet you are re-living your accident over & over in your head trying to figure what went wrong. Just get well and hope you are back on your bike as soon as possible.



Chado,
Hope you are ok. Mate, to have come off at that speed, you are very lucky that your injuries aren't worst.

What's the damage to the bike? Is it now officially a track track?

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Cheers

[seraph]

glad to hear you're relatively alright Rachel :) sorry to hear about the banged up shoulder and bike :(

awesome to hear about the numerous personal bests achieved! -J.

[Kat00]

Big crashes by the sounds of things, glad everyone is relatively OK.

Good luck with the mending and rebuilding.:ayyy:

Catch you all next time

[Zee]

Nice to see all the regulars out there on Saturday
Congrats to all who set PB's again, you guys are getting quicker and quicker with every ride day. Soon A group will be booking out first. :ayyy:
Commiserations to the crashers, hope youz all quickly mend well, both body 'n' bikes. Unfortunately this is a part of our sport and no one likes to crash but some days it's all worth it, when it all falls in place, it's exhilarating (riding not crashing). There will always be more of the good, than the bad times. :)

yip it will be fully trackified now.. that was the plan but to do it more gradually..

damage wise, pegs,glass,clip ons,etc to get a full list will have to wait for a Zee assessment:) .. but im already chasing the obvious pieces.. clip ons from baz are being sorted as we speak.. glass im bidding on ebay.. pegs i found a set on ebay.. so a very slight chance of make OP on 11th still:ayyy:

[joyrider]

lemme know if ya need any parts for ya bike cause i get some pretty good prices from the states.

Thanks for that. I will assess the damage and get back to you if I need any parts.

[pan]

Glad to hear your a recovering RAT Rachel!

I'm sure you'll be going around the outside of me on turn 1 in no time (and turn 2, turn 3, 4, 5,...) :ayyy:

[Jordan]

Just checking in. I think i had the record of the highest ride day fee per lap. My day ended at turn 11 after my out lap. fair slide which woulda been alright until the bike flipped and smashed in the tank and front fairing stay etc. Had to wait by the side of the track and ride it into the pits with no front brakes at the end of the session.

To get back on track i will be chasing right hand rearset bracket front fairing stay and other bits and pieces. But to get back on road it will extend to at least a new tank if my subframe is alright. So far i haven't stripped it off yet so full assessment hasn't been done.

My (no longer) new beautiful dainese leathers and bap meant i got away undamaged but i scored a lot of wear and a nice hole in my jacket for the (acceptable) price. Once again i have managed to have a decent sized stack and still not even glance the ground with my helmet.

Sucks to crash before you even start to push!

[Prettyboy]

Someone went out earlier than yourself Jordan.

White (C) Group, out of the pits, binned a SBS bike entering turn 2

[dungbeetle]

glad ya ok jordan.....dont think i can help ya with rearset bits. but keep an eye on ebay cause there has been cheap after market rearsets coming up from time to time. just shitty second hand ones, but for 100 bux or so they will do the job and move ya feet position higher to:D

[Zee]

Zee assessment:) ..

Zee assessment :confused1:

[_chado77]

Zee assessment :confused1:


yip when i get you started i can see that head being scratched a bit.. with wheres tis,thats missing etc:) :)

[pan]

I think i had the record of the highest ride day fee per lap. My day ended at turn 11

Sorry to hear about the stack!

Turtle paid more! He was at Circuitbreakers (more costly) AND lost it on turn 9! :ayyy: (though he did have insurance, so you may hold that record yet!)

[Kat00]

My my stock pegs might help you out Jordan, your welcome to em if they fit.

[Jordan]

thanks for the offer Kat00. I will check whether the mounting holes line up.

Glad to hear you are OK.

Bikes can be repaired, but we can take a lot longer.

[sharpe1]

Glad to hear people are up and about and OK. Rachael, I'm sure you'll be back in no time, it may take a while to get your head around it but persevere and you'll be allright.

[Jordan]

very true bart. was more pissed bout missin the day than anything else. I'll get back out there when i get the time and parts for a few repairs
