flat, off-camber track comprised of 8 Turns and one
long main straight-a-way. If ridden as we did, from

| Pros |
Here
is how the track looks through the visor.
From the Start/Finish Line you jockey the machine
to the outside line of the track. Maintain this
outside line along the concrete wall then the
hay bails going around Kart Track Turn 1. Just
before KT Turn 2, there is the first of two
decreasing radius, cut-back left hand corners.
Maintain the high line, hold your throttle and
dive into Turn 2. From Turn 2, the line is to
the outside on the dog leg as the machine approaches
Turn 3. Turn 3 is a 90 degree, right hand turn.
Maintaining this line, the ride will be set-up
on the outside of the next dog leg. This position
will allow you to cleanly make Turns 4a &
4b while carrying decent corner speeds. Turns
4a & 4b are left handers, nearly a double
apex if ridden tight. But if ridden outside
in, Turns 4a & 4b will be smooth and fast
while giving good position to make the next
turn cleanly. Turn 5, is a 90 degree, right
hander. If Turn 5 is ridden outside in, the
machine will be set-up for the sharp, near double
apex Turn 6a & 6b that uses the connecting
section of KT Turns 3 & 4. Turns 6a &
6b are the slowest corners of this circuit.
With this in mind, corner speed through Turns
6a & 6b, along with maintaining the outside
in line will be crucial in cleanly negotiating
these turns. Once the machine has cleanly made
the second and slower, decreasing radius cut-back
left hand, Turn 6b. Entry into Turn 7, a quick
right hander & 8, a quick left hander should
allow the rider to point the machine straight
through this chicane. Again, maintaining the
outside in line will allow the pilot to begin
to pin the throttle through these turns. From
Turns 7 & 8, it is onto the main straight-a-way,
up along the wall with the machines throttle
pinned to the end. From there, repeat steps
1 through 8 until the smile can not be removed
from your face!

In
closing, large, fast tracks are fun. But flat
tracks can be fun if you make it flow! |
