supermoto practice at BeaveRun Friday, May 11th

[restukey]

I honestly don't see bringing that as a problem on a weekday. Think about it next time.

seriously???!!!

I need a place to practice even if it is just a few slow speed laps while you guys take a break

who should I call to confirm that with?

@ Ken, they are pretty much open on weekdays for open practice unless otherwise noted. They have changed owners and names, but they are still super laid back. I think most weekday mornings from 10 - noon, you could have the place to your selves.

That said, I think an F1 or F2 sidecar is way over gunned for the kart track, JMHO.

Here's a couple of photos of restukey and dpasseto on Friday. Perfect day, 68 degrees, light breeze, etc.

Bob. Beautiful lonely track.

A little study in tire wear

DRZ, looks good but not providing the grip I wanted. Lot's of slips and wiggles early in the day. It took half a day to get the suspension settled down.



Front looks better



Dennys's junk was looking shaggy at the end of the day



Bob's Bridgestone looking lightly roasted, but not over done



Front Bridgestone looked perfect



Dennys's rear was showing signs of abuse by the end of the day. It never gave up grip though. Gotta love
Pirelli Super Corsas



the front was equally abused



The rear of the DRZ was working better at the end of the day, but showing a bit more wear than what I would consider 'perfect'. Ultimately, I went with consistent grip over a prefect set up.

It was interesting to me that it took raising the tire pressure to get more grip on this day.

A few more of the boys.

Dennys dragging a toe



Bob using his airbake into T1



DP on the gas



Dennys into the penultimate hairpin. Two different karts did us the favor of laying down oil on the racing line. It was particularly distracting in this corner.

That looks like a total blast! I'd loooove to get the DRz up there but why does it have to be so far away?!?
