Short highlight video of my second year racing with ASRA in lightweight on a SuperSport 2001 SV650. Most of the highlights are me getting passed. I got a couple of good ones in though. Hoping that 2025 I can flip the script a bit and start moving forward.

Trying to figure out why I'm not faster. Likely a rider issue. Motion Pro 08-0702 is the fancy blue thing I really like.

I gotta do better than that. I was doing fine for a while. Quickest lap LWGP 1:18.79. 2001 SV650 supersport 15/45T Pirelli SC1 front and rear

Recap of race 5 of 6 for the ASRA Midwest Series at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. I did alright. Not great. Not bad. Learned a few things that should help me in the future. 2001 SV650 gen1 supersport 15/45T.

Very slow start. Took me 2 laps to start moving. Changed my line through 5/6 and 17/18 and dropped my personal best by 2 seconds. Best lap 2:01.730. It doesn't look great, but there is a path here to sub 2's in 2025. 2001 SuperSport SV650. Results say I finished 5th of 7 experts, but my eyes tell me that #381 RS660 definitely finished in front of me which puts me 6th. The #101 was a Ducati Mons...

Gas is on the right. That's what it boils down to. I take a deep dive into Race Studio data of my lap times vs a Regional Champion on a similar bike. I didn't do a good job mentioning it during the video, but Ryan Nolan of Ryhno Racing @Ryhno411 has been instrumental in even getting to this point. It was his data and video I used in this video. Do yourself a favor and check out his TH-cam chann...

June 22-23 2024. Big time learning weekend. First time there. Found the edge and went over it. I know how to improve for next time. 2001 SV650 SuperSport, 15/45. Thumbnail and end photo credit: @3rd13

Not a great finish, but my goal this weekend was to crack in the 1:19's. Did that 5 times this race with my previous best being a 1:20.57. Hadn't gotten near it all weekend until this race. I just need to calm down and find apexes, and I can crack 18's. I'm certain of it. Maybe. Long way to go to the front though. I also still don't have the slightest clue how to start.

Ultralightweight Superbike on a 2001 SV650. PittRace. First corner, first lap, very wet. My biggest fear out there is running over another rider. A better rider maybe could have avoided this outcome. I couldn't tell which way the downed rider was going. I kept adding brake as I was catching him. Eventually it sent me over the bars and the bike doing a very picturesque 360 in the air. What you c...

Recap of my first weekend racing as an expert in 2024. It certainly wasn't forgettable. I probably would prefer to forget parts of it though. Ultralightweight Superbike on a 2001 SV650. PittRace. First corner, first lap, very wet. My biggest fear out there is running over another rider. A better rider maybe could have avoided this outcome. I couldn't tell which way the downed rider was going.

Popped a freeze plug at Barber. Needed to install a new 22mm expansion plug into the front cylinder. Hopefully I did it right. Engine is a 1999 on a 2001 frame. Second gens have different size plugs.

Hopefully this is useful to somebody like me that's on the fence of making the jump from track day to race day. If you are do it.

GTL Novice 7/16/2023 at Blackhawk Farms. Most fun race of the year for me. Goddammit I need to go faster.

idk where the oil went. Could be Aperture Labs portal technology and the oil is sitting on the deck of the Borealis in another dimension. Or it's all in the crankcase. It's gotta be somewhere. EDIT - I found the oil. It's all in the primary side. About 3.5L worth (so 2.5L of engine oil). Which means I likely have a faulty crankshaft seal. So that's fun.
