Motorcycle crash at buttonwillow raceway

[jlugolok]

Lol that turn is a muda! I just ate it on that turn this last Monday (Memorial day) but going in the opposite direction... 3rd session in, ruined my day! Lol but my bike is almost back up and running again!! Woohoo!!!

im going here for my first track day on sunday...any advice?

[jesseferr]

Well given my response is a week later I'm sure you already did your track day. But nonetheless I would suggest that you get one of the instructors to show you some good lines. I've ridden there like 10 times since then and am a lot faster since I've utilized the track day instructors. Overall I think buttonwillow is a great track for new track rider given there is so much runoff space (unlike Infinion)

Lean angle plus a little bit too much throttle usually ends up this way, live and learn baby! Keep on ridin!!!

missing the apex for one and then trying to roll on the throttle with no rear tire left to give while leaned over.

so, what caused the crash?

[rEcKLesSzzz]

too much gas exiting the turn caused the highside...

[Chaotic8]

Too much throttle coming out of the apex?

[jesseferr]
