2014 Speed Triple R


« Reply #1785 on: July 19, 2016, 04:56:47 PM »

Did an autocross Test N Tune at the Stadium on Sunday, four runs in the morning and four runs in the afternoon.  Total bust for me as I really couldn't improve that much on my time through the eight runs, even though I had one of our hotshoes ride along on the fifth run and give me a critique after.  He pointed out a couple of things I could improve on, but I just couldn't execute...I was like the crazy guy doing the same thing, the same way, over and over expecting a different result... Sad

I had been experiencing the same thing on the tighter track set ups last season, but was okay on the more open tracks, and yesterday was pretty open...I would have eaten that track up a couple of years ago.

No real changes to the car, pretty much the same suspension and shock settings and beginning tire pressures that I have always run, just couldn't get the car to rotate.

I think the driver has seen better days and needs to retire the M3 from autox duty because it's not fun anymore.

Looking on the bright side, that leaves more Sundays open for motorbike rides, where the roads are familiar and I have an ace leading the way... Grin

I'm alive but with some strange extreme muscle soreness in the base of my neck & shoulders.  Where they went in feels fine. So far.

Thanks for asking & I'll check in again later.

This may sound mean but I don't intend it that way.  As far as I know Teddy had supportive friends around him until he drove them off. Some people get depressed and don't want to be saved. That's part of clinical depression and that's how he was acting. I really hope that he is better off now ........

That bike will get exercised in due time.  Time will fly by.  I am "Jonesing" a bit now though.  Good thing no fast bike parades have gone by on the road today.  Crap, no motorcycling, no bicycling & no cigar smoking for about 3 months.  End of October / first part of November is my goal.  Good thing I can still drink ........  drink  drink   chug
