day...
I was defintely out there in the last 3 sessions Scott, usually wait a couple of mins and let the pranksters sort themselves out to get some clear track.
I was having a ding dong battle with a sbk school rider (I think?) on a silver R1 after lunch for about 5 or 6 laps I'd go under brakes into turn 1, he'd ride around the outside of southern, I'd go under brakes into honda, he'd go outside at siberia, I'd jam it down the inside at MG then the fuker would ride around the outside again at turn 12!! We were doing around 1:52's...apparently there's good footage of it from pit roof.
I ended up setting a new best in the final session, a VFR400 was giving me the absolute shits riding around the outside of me every freakin where! I ripped a couple of 1:51's and burned the annoying prick ...the times aren't anything particularly special, but that's what it's all about, having a bit of fun and gradually improving
Without doubt I reckon 1:48 is doable on the busa the way it is...how the hell Krusty did a 1:46 on stock tyres?? The guy is just good
Save of the day goes to Greg's mate Bob with the YZF750, I didn't see him lose the front in turn 12, but it was pretty hard to miss his trip thru the gravel at mega speed He did very well to save it...
Smokin Joe did a couple of 1:58's on his 1000 late in the day, very good considering he'd never seen the Island before. Just quietly he's very impressed with the dyno run and associated remap performed by an unamed identity in the east...
