mallory test anyone going to test afternoon at mallory next weds- any hints for start point for gearing -as compared to other circuits (rather than actual sprocket combinations due to the different final drive ratios) |
Brands gearing Three types of circuit Fast, Medium and Slow Mallory with it's two chicanes falls into the slow group as far as I'm concerned |
Quote:
Just change gear when you get to the chicanes kev .. going down one or two usually helps :lol: |

Kev rarely gets into 3rd.......... sorry Kev. |

Yeah I find 3rd a bit tall for the hairpin, as I do the wall on the inside evident by me shoulder charging it a few years ago and ending up on the floor with my bike on top of me :o |

true, i'm not sure if thats a first or 2nd, I guess if you took 1st you'd have to change up for the bus stop? I always always brake too late for the hairpin and miss the wall by about 2m. |
I only made half a lap in 2010 after tagging the back wheel of someone at Edwinas and doing a Superman. I only did 1 lap in 2011 before being hit by a flying Ducati at Gerrards and breaking my collar bone,,, I missed 2012 (if you were there) after hitting a tyre wall and breaking my back. so I haven't actually done many laps of Mallory... |
anyone going to do weds then? |

I can't mate,, got to work :( |
rather save the money at this point in the season, it's not as though one practice afternoon is going to improve my chances of wining a race |
