AFM Round 3 at Thunderhill, 600 Superbike,

Raced at Thunderhill Raceway Park, with AFM (round 3 2022). I was able to get some really good tows and got down to 1:56s in the race (2 seconds improvements over my previous PB). I was getting more comfortable with the track.
In the afternoon's 600 Superstock race, I got down to 1:55's. It was a great weekend ;))

Nice race! If you clean up your lines and get a bit better drive off the corner in a few places you'll immediately drop some time. You're getting parked mid corner in a few places but that's inevitable with traffic until you can be forward more in the pack. I got the AFM #8 plate in 2015, feels like so long ago now!

[@leitian7328]

Cheers man!! Racing is fun for sure! Great job to get that single digit number plate ;))

Great riding and video work! Sounds like an R6?? Track looks awesome, too. Smooth and lots of run off room when you exceed your talent level.

[@leitian7328]

Thank you!! Yeah it is a R6, with AK exhaust ;))
Yeah Thunderhill is a great track! The turn 9 doesn't have the best safety record (being a blind corner), but yeah we do appreciate the run off's for sure lol

1:55 on the 600 is a solid time!! nice job!

[@leitian7328]

Thanks Aaron! Still learning how to tame the beast, the bike is better than I am, lol

厉害哥哇~

[@franktaylor7978]

impressive. how did you train and get to the level you could race? just doing track days? or is there a way you specifically train for it?

[@leitian7328]

Hi, I am pretty sure just seat time on track days helped a ton. But yeah specific trainings, especially on mini bikes, do help a lot -- mini bikes are much less intimidating to push closer to the limits.

[@tigerrc]

帅！

[@leitian7328]

Thanks ;)))) 哈哈

600s aren’t superbikes, they’re super sports.

[@leitian7328]

You are not wrong on your naming system ---
However, somehow the AFM (American Federation of Motorcyclists), our racing club, uses some very old school naming system though, so 600 has 2 classes: 600 Supersport, and 600 Superbike. The name "superbike" just means more modifications are allowed. Weird, I know, but I didn't make those names haha

[@paulconner103]

600's have always had a superbike class.So has lightweight superbike.Hw/Mw/Lw SUPERBIKE!
