...for me, my mental block in the straight before Little bend and it's two-fold at that. 1) I don't want to carry too much speed down the straight because I don't want to be the guy slowing everyone up in the corners and yet being fast on the straight, so I usually limit my top speed....and 2) I have yet to figure out a good braking point to slow down enough to make the turn in at a rate of speed good enough for the track. I know I have some beastly brakes I just have to trust in them and not overdo it at the same time.DarcShadow wrote:I'm that way with big bend. I know I should be able to go into it so much faster then I am. The turn is so wide, and opens up, you can fly through it I know, I just can't get over the mental block to allow me to.DemonDuck wrote:I still have some apprehension that if I take a corner too hot I'm going to end up running off. That makes me mentally lock up when I'm trying to push a little faster and I end up blowing my line through the corner. What I need to work on is trusting that if I stay on the line I can push my entry speed up slowly and I'll still make the corner. Body position is the thing that's going to help there, because it will give me a lean angle reserve to work with.
So next track day, getting more off the bike, and tackling Lil Bend!!!
