Hallett results & video 140-160

"A couple of times there it sounded like you almost over-reved it."

Well technically, yes. :-) But there are a couple of places on the course (with my current gearing) that going to 4th gear is a very short term proposition. So if I'm in a bind, or a Hell of a hurry, I just leave it in 3rd gear... it takes the risk of one upshift and one downshift out of the equation. I have the shift light set for 6700, but the highest number I wiped off the tell-tale during the weekend was 7200... you were definitely hearing 7000 plus a few times during the race.

"Did you axle hop on the last lap or was it rear brake?

Actually, I locked up the rears AND the right front on that dumb move. The rear tires survived okay, but the RF is toast.
