Okay everyone,
I don't know if anyone is interested in a spinoff of the Aussie lap time leaderboard, but I started a spreadsheet for the US guys. What better place to put it than the Track days section. I liked how Rorz setup his rules so I'll quote him from his thread:
It's not a super serious competitive thing, there are no sheep stations on the line so I'm happy to accept times that have been recorded with a stopwatch or onboard lap timer. However, if you are found to be giving dishonest times I will make sure the ridicule is as intense as it is long lasting.
If you can all use the following format so I can copy/paste into the spreadsheet that would be helpful. Please list the following information: Track: Winton, Phillip Island, etc. Date: Just month and year will do, if you can't remember have a guess. Bike- make, model and year of manufacture. Tyres: make, model and compound. Suspension: stock, revalved/resprung, ***********, Ohlins etc.
All makes of bike are welcome to be on the leaderboard. There is only one rule: No negative comments about other peoples lap times unless you personally know them and it's in jest. Other than that, go for gold! :nod:
If anyone is interested then please start listing your PB. I may not be able to update the spreadsheet daily, but will do my best every few days. The spreadsheet is ready. I just need to start adding some times from people.
I no longer have documentation, but I've been doing this a long time, and have no reason to bullshit my times.
125GP times
NHMS (Loudon) 1:16.4 racing with LRRS
Beaver Run 1.04.xx qualifying with USGPRU
NYST 1.40.00 just goofing around on a friend's bike
NJMP Thunderbolt 1:36.xx goofin on friends bike
NHMS 1.18.xx chasing a fast customer around
NYST 1:35.xx chasing that same guy
Thompson Speedway (no times yet, stay tuned! although laptimes might not be smart at this track)

No ones policing the times. If somebody is caught lying then ridicule will follow as punishment! lol. Do you know what direction NYST was on the 675 and 125GP?
Damn you guys have some really quick times. I just did 2:00.xx at NYST earlier today for my first track day ever. I would love to one day be in the 1:40s
Set a new personal best yesterday(on any bike that I've got a recorded time for) and definitely the fastest I've taken the 675 around... With plenty of room for more improvement!

2:00 is where most of our customers start out on that track. Riding on a track is a very different world from the street. THere are very few skills that cross over.
Once you have some track time, these skills will benefit your street riding though. In most cases they will slow you down out there. As your situational awareness goes up, you will realize that it's not worth the risk to push in the street environment.
Have fun, and getting into the 1:40s is a great goal! That's where the fun really starts.
Who was doing 1:30s yesterday? both Munch and I were running there doing 1:33s only quick guys we noticed were skidmark racing doing similar times and a blue R1.
Yeah, me too. I have nothing to verify it with other than his timer. I didn't really notice anyone going as fast as Lee yesterday though. His timer did show some 32s, which seemed legit. Somehow I never saw you or Munch. The only rider that came by me all day was Aaron on the big Ape. Both him and Lee were out pacing me a bit. I was spinning a lot on the lefts.
I vaguely remember seeing you in a few places, munch is on a black/white/red triumph and I'm on a black/white one. We were generally toying with skidmark for the afternoon. Spent the morning just warming up. I would agree that 32s seem reasonable.
Not regulars yet, though I'd expect to go there a bit more often. Did one day last year at NYST and then yesterday. Most of the time either one of us will be down at Jersey.
Everybody is updated. Seems like there is some question about the 1:30 time. I'll leave it out for now. If Skidmark has an account here and claims it then I'll add it.
I finally got a trackday in this year!!!! I went to Chuckwalla (clockwise) and managed a best of 2:04.xx. I'm pretty happy with that. Turned out to be a good day.
