2012 WSBK Race Report

Friday I was up early and got the track at around 7.30am as the first qualifying session was at 9.15am. The track was cleared of all the dirt and gravel from Thursday's session. This along with having new rubber on gave me a lot more confidence and I picked up the pace another 2-3 seconds but still not where I should be. I came back in feeling a bit more confident and relaxed knowing that I was certain to do better in the second qualifying session which was great. The second qualifying session came up and I decided to tag along behind riders who were just that little bit faster than me. I then got back to where I should be and broke my PB by 1 second!

WERA Round 2: Las Vegas Motor Speedway

I decided that learning new tracks this year was going to be one of my major goals. Each track poses a different challenge to a rider; some tracks play to your strengths while others don't. Some people like to watch YouTube videos to learn the track, but I feel unless you are sure of the rider in that video, you might end up seeing other riders' mistakes. This time around I studied the track map closely, and I probably should have walked the track before going out on it, but didn't. I spent the first session of the track day taking it slow to learn lines and get a feel for the track surface.
