Mid-Ohio PTR, 7/24/23 Session 6

What size bike

[@backho12]

I'm sure they bumped you to the I group, but what happened when you pulled off the track?

[@rmh3093]

My charging system wasnt working so each session I was running on just battery and it died so I pulled off.

@@rmh3093 Bad stator? My 2002 R1 had a burned up stator when I bought it used. Was a pain to change it out, flywheel was super stubborn and had to use a gear puller on it gradually, then tried whacking it and it popped off eventually.

[@rmh3093]

No, I had done a TD at PittRace a weekend or two before hand and it rained all weekend and corroded the ground connector going to my rectifier. I didn't figure this out until I had replaced the stator and rectifier. Guess I have backups now.

[@spencerkershaw8074]

Bike Model?

[@rmh3093]

R6

[@backho12]

So, did you get the bump to I group? Good lines, but I think it would be better if you ran the exit of T1 out farther toward the exit cone.

[@rmh3093]

No, the instructor said I was offline a little which I accept because I was deliberately working on trying to tip in later, next time form sure

[@backho12]

@@rmh3093 Too bad! There’s a lot worse/slower riders in the I group

[@rmh3093]

@@backho12 idk man, i thought I was gonna hate their "follow the leader' setup but its actually way easier to progress and get a bump I feel. Since this was my first time at MidOhio I started in the bottom of the novice groups and every other session I would get passed on to a faster coach.
