I'm a little late on the write up but.It was definately worth the money,although I got a deal from Dave Moss on a free suspension set up.He posted on FaceBook he needed a wheel chock to do suspension for the weekend.I had one but figured a bunch of people would post up they had one,no one did so I pm'ed him I would bring him one Friday night.He texted me and I met up with him that night.Talked to him for hour,great regular guy.He said my set up was free for the use of the wheel chock. Sunday I started out slow,we were all busy at the track between sessions,soon as you got off the track you wen't to Moss and he set up the bike.I don't know how he remembered everyones set up.From there we got the warmers on and headed up to the room with Chris Peris.Amazing when a guy says something and it clicks.Some things I knew I was doing wrong but I needed a reminder.The second session after lunch I felt pretty good and started really trying.Thanks to Madski for the deal on the laptimer I was able to record my fastest lap at Beaver 1.042,and I had 4 or 5 1.04's in thats session.Was really looking forward to going out again but when I backed out of the garage I had no clutch,lever was loose.Put it up on the stand and started checking some things and making adjustments.I was testing the wheel spin and heard a crack,clutch lever housing split.I was done for the day so I hung around and when I got home tore it apart.Found the spedo bolt for the front sprocket backed out into the case.When I spun the wheel backwards on the stand it cracked the housing.Found one on Ebay Sunday night and bought it. Here is the video I shot from that session http://vimeo.com/41751492

Nice riding Pat! Have you tried to do an overlay with the data yet?
I'm going to try it with whatever I capture on Saturday. I shall shortly there after earn the title of "Capt Slow"

Pat, Congrats on the 104.2! I'm not surprised, you were moving out there! Sorry about the mix-up on the cord for your lap-timer, I’ll get it to you next time I see you! I guess you found a cord that would work though. I’d love to compare your data to mine sometime and see where I’m losing time. I’m pretty sure #8 and #2-#5 are the biggest culprits.

Mike I'm still trying to doing some figuring out on it.I'm a mechanic so my computer skills are limited lol.I do like all the data though.
Matt yep we can compare.I think I hit 137 mph at one point.

OK, here’s the fun part! The green line is my best lap at BeaveRun during the Track Tactics day, a 1:04.709. The orange line is Pat’s best lap, a 1:04.200. I’m faster from the start line through turn #1 but Pat pulls ahead by the exit of turn #2. I wonder if I’m charging #1 a bit, and messing up my line for #2 as my apex speed is 3.5 mph lower than Pat’s. We’re both up to around 80 mph before braking for #4. Pat is 3 mph faster before braking for #5. He must be a little harder on the brakes as I’m 2 mph quicker going into #5. Pat’s about 5 mph faster in #6 and carries more speed through #7. I’m a little quicker through #8, and about 5 mph faster on the run into #9 (cheater 750 motor). I roll off earlier (and more) going into #9, Pat is 7 mph faster, and makes a bunch of time here. I’m faster from the exit of #9 to the apex of #10, but Pat gets a better drive out, is a bit faster pretty much all the way to the braking zone for #1, but there’s not much between us in this section. Pat’s lap is 0.509 seconds quicker than mine and he makes 0.407 seconds (80%) of that between the exit of turn #5 and the apex of turn #9…

I need to get some data from da'Beave so both of you guys can be faster in each split than at least one person here.
That's actually really cool in letting you compare data from different riders and different sessions/days, etc.
