3/8-3/9 MSRH

Post by Stardog » Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:09 pm

Someone ride Houston with me next month. A work friend registered for L1 both days so we will be heading down that Friday and coming back Sunday evening. If you have never been it is a really fun track, all but a turn called "The Bus Stop" which sucks balls.

Agreed. Its also a very technical track, and will challenge your skills more than any of our local tracks.

As for the bus stop, I finally found a line that I like don't hate. As much.

I am hoping that a couple more days on the track will get me a bit more comfortable with it. It is way challenging. Now that I know the basic layout I can pay better attention to the lines that the instructors are taking and probably get a lot more from the track drives and round robin laps. That is the plan anyway. You will have to show me that bus stop line the next time that we are both out there.

That line through bus stop is very different from the Ridesmart line. It might upset some peeps in L2 if you run it (especially if you pass them on it...), but it is effective.

LOL, OK, I will try to master the RS line and then if I can get in to L3 at some point you can show me the StripleThreat Bus Stop line.
