Trackday photos from Big Willow

Charles. i ordered a foto CD with the misc. pit pictures. I'll post them up when I get 'em so you can do a 'right-click/save as' retrieve in a few dayz. The Kraut pics are some of my fave.

Forgot to mention there were at least 6 red flags

One of them Lambs...  He said that he didn't wait until he was stopped before trying to get up.  He thought he was done sliding, tried to get up and that's when he twisted his ankle.

2 guys were transported to the hospital.  1 came back later in the day and the other has a broken ankle.

yeah dude. that was, by far, the most red flags I've ever seen in one TD! The downtime was killing me. I like resting and taking a breather in the shade, but too much actually makes my body feel like crap. It's prolly from the shock of getting the body temp way up, sweating, cooling off, getting in the shade for a long period of time, then repeat.
We lost one session to all the red flags, not bad. I actually think it was best for me. I definately needed the extra cool down time. Its amazing how much water you drink, yet you never have to take a leak...
 
SO far I almost feel like I went along with you guys.. way to much fun and good reading from you both !

Big Willow's nickname is the "Fastest track in the west".

You DO NOT want to crash in T8 or T6, very high speed, can't be good...
I still can't get my mind off how fast this track is

So here we go;

I go into T1 downshifting from 6th down to 3rd.

Carry 3rd thru T1 to T3

Entering T3 I downshift into 2nd

Carry 2nd thru T3 and T4

Quick shift into 3rd between T4 and T5

Carry 3rd thru T5 and T6

Between T6 and T7 shift up to 4th

Between T7 ans T8 shift up to 5th

Carry 5th thru T8

Between T8 and T9 downshift down to 3rd for maximum drive

Between T9 and T1 upshift all the way from 3rd to 6th!!!  My 750 would have redlined in 5th only, needed 6th!

There is a set of switch backs right before you get on the straight away that throw allot of folk and the carosel it Rocks
 
Adam we actually did the track w/ the chicane at the end before the high bank on the wall. This layout would have had you & Jerry on the Busas at warp speed coming around the top. I kept bouncing off the limiter as it was on my 600RR.


Looks like a great time was had by you 3. Glad Lamb isn't hurt.
 
aaawww yeeaahh! Man. I can't imagine 140 in sweepers... I barely get up to 100 on my local tracks!! looks like fun times! Thanks for the pics
