It's going to be my second track day, but at an entirely different track. Buttonwillow was fun and technical, but Willow Springs (Big Willow) looks to be much more speed-oriented. I've heard that most bikes top out on the main straight after the big sweeper

Any tips from WS-experienced riders? Sorry this topic isn't cooler, but there aren't that many interesting threads on here lately anyways

TIA

 

WOT from Turns 7 through 9!!!

Same rules apply - look through your turn, be smooth, and don't let the Omega or Turn 9 scare ya. There are some bumps, especially after Omega (IIRC), but as long as you're aware of what the bike will do (shimmy a little over bumps), you'll do fine.

 

Big bump in nine, but if your set up keep it pegged

 

Keep your vision up and your arms relaxed! Write it on the tank if you have to - srsly - If you do that, high speed and bumps will not bother you. That big sweeping thing looks like it destroys right side pucks - bring a spare set just in case.

 

What day are you going? If its this Sunday I'll see you there along with Life Sux Die and a gaggle of other R6's! Look for the gaggle and come say whatup! Oh, and here is a good bit of info I found on the youtube:

Don't crash in turn 3

Hoping not to

Any suggestions for suspension settings? There will be less transitions (duh, fewer turns) so should I stiffen up my settings? It's been a while since I had my bike setup, and it was for done fairly soft for everyday riding.

Nice! Yes I will be there on Sunday along with a couple friend from SportBikesWest and 600RR.net. Suffice to say, I'll be on a black 600RR, friends with white/red F4i and black R6 in tow. Come say hello
