2006 Track days - September 9-10 - Buttonwillow

I got to try the backwards configuration that the AFM would be running at the end of October. All-in-all not too bad, but there are some wicked spots where I anticipate some carnage. I tested a new rear tire and loved it. In my last session out for the 2-day weekend I dropped 2 seconds off my personal best at the track and got down to 1:59. Not bad for a 97hp Ducati superbike!

2006 Track Days - September 2-4 - Thunderhill
TigerBike Racing Blog	By tigre on Monday, September 04, 2006

Got down to 2:02 on my first day of a 3-day weekend. I spent the rest of the time working on a few techniques, including trail-braking. I also adjusted the suspension to make the bike handle quite a bit better. I worked with a coach on 9-3 and 9-4. Awesome stuff -- some great pointers on riding and bike setup. The only downside for me was that I didn't turn any faster lap times than I had on 9-2.
