What would be the remedy if, say, Mugello had a pothole right in the middle of the front straight away? They would probably repave the entire track to cure it from happening anywhere else along the racing surface. ok, lets pull back some, Mugello ONLY hosts MotoGP AND F1 AND many other world...

OK, I've been doing this trackday thing since 99, but this is a first for me so i would love some advice from anyone who would offer it. I put my beloved '01 YZF-R6 in the shop for an electrical problem, and they call me back saying that thier diagnostic checks have uncovered a severe engine...
