Karl,

Great to hear from you, been way to long. I love reading what you wrote, those days at Pahrump were so fun. I rode there again about 5 months ago, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Its still really good but has expanded a ton, like 4-5 tracks out there now.

Hope to see you again soon mate and thanks for commenting on the post.

Barry,

Couldn’t agree with you more on your comments. Continuing to work on our fundamentals will let us see better results quicker. I know we all want to get faster but we can’t put the cart before the horse in our sport otherwise it will bite us.

Looking forward to hooking up next year when we start traveling again.

Cheers,

JP

Jeremy,

How did Thunderbolt go? Thank you for commenting on my article. So pumped that working from the inside out regarding lines has made sense for you. I agree with teaching new riders what the “race line” is isn’t realistic. What’s great about what you wrote is that you have self evaluated your riding and now started moving lines around a bit. You’re getting faster!!!!

Hope we get to ride again soon,

JP

Doug,

It was so much fun riding with you back in the day. You’ve always been such a supporter of what I have done, thank you so much. Would love to run into you again somewhere soon and thanks for chiming in on the piece. We are working hard to make STAR better all the time.

Cheers,

JP

He first introduced me to this concept at his Star School at Spring Mountain where corner 2 is a long left hander and you enter the corner pretty tight to allow the bike to scrub off speed as you let the bike drift out a bit and then come back for the apex and exit allowing you to get on the gas hard. I have used this technique in many corners including corner 2 at Laguna. But where I really noticed the difference was at Miller Motorsports Park in UT. Most track day riders coming out of the corner prior to the final clubhouse turn would delay getting on the throttle to keep turning the bike right to get to the right hand side where I was able to get on the gas much earlier and shoot across the track for a tight entry into the last corner but I was on the gas much earlier resulting in much faster speed and shorter distance and allowing me to pass very easily. I can’t wait to take one of the new courses…….K

Look forward to hitting some of your schools in the midwest in 2016.

Many times the race line at slow speed is too hard for new riders. This year I am using more track on corners but that is a biproduct of more track time and being smoother which has meant added speed.
Thank you for reminding me of this very valuable lesson. I will be putting it to use at NJMP Thunderbolt this weekend!
