[Chaoz]

Yeah, it's been a long time since you've been on the track. I think after a few orientation rounds you should be able to get used to it.

 

P.S.: Got the same tyres as yours but have yet to scrub them in. And I heard from the mech from the bikeshop that I frequent that these kinds of tyres need an unbelievably low amount of pressure for it to stick while cornering aggressively. Still not confident to push yet...

 

Anyways, here's the fellas that I'm inviting. They wanna try track too:

 

1 x YZF-R6 '08

1 x DRZ400

1 x NSR150 SP

 

(All attendance not confirmed yet and whether they're playing/spectating)

I changed tyres again in anticipation of something

 

I initially wanted Racetecs because I wanted something for the still-conservative tracker like me whilst having something that's sticky for the corners. But the shop ran out of them and offered me the Power Ones.

 

Will tell you the recommended pressures when we meet.

Uncle Tec told me his tires should be able to last 1 more session.. but I chose not to trust him too much due to skill difference.. so i'll juz use these tires to figure out some linings and go for tours heheh...

 

oh.. and for someone who frequent msia so often like urself.. dun think you can depend much hahah.. u will be too far to be saved..

ya np... you got it right this time!

[Chaoz]

wow.. tt's the longest list we have so far..

[Chaoz]

For those who are going for the first time, there's several things to take note before going with regards to the safety of the bike and rider:

 

-Try to have enough rest the previous night. Weather + attire might be hot and you certainly won't wanna lose focus or concentration while riding on track.

 

-Try not to use tires which are too old or worn out. Tires are the only thing that will hold your bikes.

 

-RPMs on track will way higher than on normal road. I'm sure you won't wanna risk your bike's health by going with old EO or insufficient 2T. I believe fresh, new cheaper EO is still better than old expensive EO with high mileage.

 

-Lub your chains properly to reduce wear and tear.

--------------------------------------------------------

Some other extra information:

 

-There will be a lot of perspiration. You might wanna consider using head linner or balaclavas to protect your beloved helmets from stinking.

 

-Consider bringing extra T-Shirts if you don't like the sweat smell after everything.

 

-For those using GPS phones, you might wanna consider downloading GPS laptimer on track.

Windows Mobile users can try RaceChrono. (Remember to download PG map)

Iphone / Ipod touch user can try Harry's Laptimer. (Not free but do not have to download any map. It will draw the map for you after a few rounds.)

I have tried both, they are not 100% accurate but good enough if you have nothing else. Ride with your phone at your own risk, I crashed with my HTC diamond before. Luckily it was unscratched.

 

Lastly... be happy and enjoy yourselves on the track

[redbeacon]

That's a very good compilation of the need-to-knows there Chaoz! Thanks for the effort.

 

P.S.: You look qualified to be a future Safety Officer with your expertise there

 

=======

 

I'm going to add a few more:

 

Guide and safety tips while on the track

 

- Mandatory 3 rounds of orientation riding.

 

- Don't overtake.

It is very important that you orient yourself to a new track, and afterwards learn efficient linings...that is, turning lines that lets you avoid going wide or off-track, and who knows, may be a good stylo-milo cornering camera shot for you

 

- Brakes are your friend.

A very good tip that I've gathered from many experienced riders and a performance riding book.

If you are unsure of an upcoming turn, by all means use the brake. It's not a rule to go slow nor is this a demerit to your skill; you will only go faster (and progressively use less braking) once you learn how to tackle the turn.

 

Even I use the brakes for some of the turns even if that would mean others would be able to overtake me.

 

And yes, there's a technique to proper braking that won't upset the bike's stability. Feel free to ask me if you guys are doubtful.

 

- There's no such thing as "wrong lining".

But there's such a thing as going beyond your confidence, and this should be discouraged. In other words, if unsure, slowly roll back the throttle to a much comfortable speed.

 

- Pasir Gudang Track Layout (for you guys to print)

 

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/redbeacon/Tracklayout1.jpg

 

Take a quick glance at the track layout, but don't flood your brain with too much the night before. This is because experience comes with really being on the track itself.

 

Notes-taking and asking questions are encouraged on the day itself.

 

 

Hope these helps guys

[wing1499]
