Believe me, JC is the least of our concerns. . .it's the big tracks where it's particularly embarrassing. . .. To the OP - something else to consider about your different "points" - I can't remember where I heard it but it did make sense to me at the time. . .besides having "braking" "turn in" "apex" and "exit points" . . .there can also be a "end braking" point" essentially, not only do you know where you start braking for the turn every time, but also where you are done braking for the turn everytime (for example the clearest "end braking point for me is the "dip" going to into 3 at Tbolt. . .it serves two purposes for me. . .1) it lets me know I should be off the brakes and my speed should be set for the chicane and 2) if I'm off the brakes before the dip, I instantly know I just gave up speed going into it. Another great one is Summit Main that was taught to me that last time I was there. . .don't let off the gas and start braking until you feel the elevation change going downhill into T10. . .which is pretty cool because until I was told that, I didn't realize you could use elevation changes as markers.
To date, here's my favorite set of pics. . .it shows a ton of stuff. . .trail braking into the turn (look at their fingers in the first two pics), the point where they're both off the brakes (if you look, they're on the brakes with no curbing, still on the brakes when they hit the first part of the curbing (it's skinny) and off the brakes by the time the curbing gets "wide" (you can see where that starts to happen in the second pic above Dave's front wheel), different lines through the same turn based upon corner speed, why you shouldn't look at the rider you're trying to pass but at the track and your points, having your max lean angle entering the turn so you can get on the gas early coming out. . . just how hard a SV can push a big bike. . .
Thanks Jimmy and Kas. I miss my track family.
