Great video, and your engine must be set up and jetted just right to take that kind of abuse. :D It was fun to see the Grand Course from that view. It looks like the turns aren't as tight as on the course I'm used to. :lol: Did you guys get on the little one Sunday, or was is as wet as it was here?

3 things..........

1. You officially suck for living so close to such a cool track.....
2. Jim sucks for never getting on it, as not on it as much as possible.......
3. always cover the clutch, especially on long straights, the few milliseconds may save you a falldown if you stick a motor....

:e11 :e11 :e11

I'm working on not getting hurt on the supermoto track before I graduate to a bigger one. :lol:

I only rode the little track for about half an hour before the rain chased me off.
On Monday we were expecting rain but it never came. At a gas station on the way home I spoke with some locals who live 3 miles from the track who said it poured on them much of the day. Good living! 8-)

John,
I live 4.5 hours from the track and covering the clutch is for pussies :e11

Nice track run. I've been up to Summit point to look a couple times but $200/day seems pricey. I see a lot of people there.
