A (sort of) hot lap around Pacific Raceways on a motorcycle

You're watching a lap around Pacific Raceways circuit in Kent, Washington in the USA. The track is about 30-40 minutes south of Seattle. It's 2.25 miles long and features 9 turns (though a final 10th turn is added for motorcycles), 6 of which are left-handers. It also features probably the worst safety features and worst road surface quality of any major track on the west coast, but it shur iz perty!

I'm riding a bone-stock Suzuki GSX-R600 K8, with the exception of steel-braided brake lines and race brake pads. I put this video together very quickly, so a lot of the edits don't really match up well. I jumped back and forth a lot because I wanted people who haven't been to the track before to get a good sense for the interesting things at each point. As a result, the total lap time you'd record from the video is way off. I can't be sure which way, but from the looks of it (I'm at neutral throttle coming out of turn 2, for instance), I wasn't riding too hard to begin with.

I'm using a pair of GoPro Motorsports Hero cameras. They rock. Get your own here: http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=2

Oh, and I was out at an Adrenaline Freaks track day. Check them out at http://www.adrenalinefreaks.com/
