So, I sat in the braking zone entering T4 with Tony's fantabulous RADAR gun and got some trap speeds today.

First, I hope my presence out there didn't bother any of the riders. I tried to stay far enough away that I wouldn't be a distraction.

Here's what I got during RoR:

RoR GTO Bikes
Shane Turpin - 166 mph
Dalton Dimick - 162
Mike Applegate - 162
Rob Christman - 162
Dan Turner - 161

RoR GTU Bikes
Colter Dimick - 154
Josh Galster - 152
Ricky Orlando - 150
Shannon Moham - 149
Mike Applehans - 145
At Tony's request I also went out during Colorado Class to get the 250's that were in that race. The highest was 94, most were 90-92, lowest was 88.

Schrammy's RS125 was pretty consistent at about 110-112, but did bust a 115 on the second or third lap.

You never bothered me a bit but I did notice that you eventually started hiding behind the number four brake marker, LOL any speeds from Thunderbike?

Which cheater was hitting 94 on the turd-fiddy?!?! :lol:

Probably someone who changed their gearing and weighs a buck thirty. Kuo!!!

NOw that the end of season is nearing or upon us.... any new speeds of interest?

I for one was wondering how the 250's have progressed as the riders get faster and maybe exit 3 better?

FWIW...on my 1098 at my last track day, my data logs show 156.6 from my GPS unit which is a professional race grade model that updates at 20hz, not the standard 5hz like most garmin/other lap timer units.
