MotoAmerica lap times at Pitt Race....Place your bets!!
- Thread starter Emerson
- Start date
Definitely not mine. I could barely reach over the tank on that thing.
When Taylor did the 1:43, he was on someone else's bike. I think best Superbike riders on their own bikes are going to be right at a 1:37 flat during qualifying. Mid 1:38's for the race. I feel the best 600 guys will be closer to a 1:41 flat during qualifying. Closer to 1:43's during their race. Only time will tell.
He was. FWIW, it was very similar to both R1's he had been on this year. The Westby crew has been quite a help in getting our bike setup similar to theirs. Real good guys over there.
I won't be suprised to see 1:38 on the Superbikes and I think low 1:40 on the 600. But the replave has a lot to do with this. How long can the big bikes be on the throttle.
600 and 1000 times were very very close with liter bikes about 1 second faster on the old course. and I think the same holds true on the full course.
I've traditionally been about 107 %ish of the fastest qualifier at motoamerica and I could do a 1:45 at pittrace so you do the math.

Brad,
It might be time to change your screen name to something a little more current so I thought I would throw a couple out for you:
PittsburghNinja
KeystoneKawi
Maybe something from the past "BlueNinja"
I am sure others might weigh in with suggestions too.
I just talked to them about something else.
The South Track isn't really being touched, other than perhaps some maintenance.
The North (old) track has already been started. Two base layers are already laid. The next step is to put down the rest of the top surfaces, for which temperature is critical. They are expecting to do this in April. Rain is really not an issue, but it all depends on outside temps. Evolve has an event scheduled for the end of April which is somewhat "TBD" pending progress due to weather. The N2 weekend in mid May will be fine unless there is some major catastrophe.

Huh, I thought they were redoing all of South as well due to manufacturing flaws or something (connected to having to put the tar snakes down).
