My other track suit was too tight to comfortably wear the back protector, plus it was almost all back, summer here is a bitch.

Tried on a high dollar Alpinestar air suit, just to get the sizing right, they odered me the Motegi one piece and I signed up for COTA again July 2nd.

Now Im fricken broke lol

Wonder now if I might put a few yellow stickers on the bike lol

Yea ,money seems to escape from my wallet quite easily. :Laughing:

My birthday is July 9th, the big 50!
So thats how I justified it in my head...trickery :grin

Mounted my rear slick, it was a bitch, those 451's are stiff as hell.
Then realized there's a blue little arrow on the tire Im suspecting for the tire alignment to stem.
Its taking more than twice the weights than before, I know thats not right. Makes since I got 180 off from the stem.
Usually the manufacturers will take the tires heaviest spot and mark it to go opposite the valve stem to counter balance requiring less weight.
Now to go back out, break the bead and force that tire 180 degrees and reseat and check, pain in the ass.

Also installed a 1/5 turn R6 throttle pipe, there was zero mods I had to do, bolted right up using the Motion Pro R6 throttle pipe.

Im fairly certain I can pull a Level 3 time at COTA 8 days from now. I wont have the level1 slow riders there blocking me like last time. And the slicks will be a huge confidence boost once they warm up.

Tire manufacturers use the yellow dot to mark the lightest spot on the tire and, and you align that dot with the valve stem as a starting point. A red dot is highest RFV.
