Here's a couple of pics from the track day that I did control riding in. I like the one with the battling control riders!

Battling
 
So..who's passing who, he's on a different line are you going inside or is he going around on the outside..what is he riding?? Great to shots of the Hawk in action...I'm know to this bike, but amazed at the obvious passion there is for this bike.. I only had a chance to ride couple hundred miles before the white death settled over the prairies.. But as I was telling anothe member, this Hawk had more/better of the kind of power and handling an 850 Norton had that also had something about it that made you smile every ride..except when the Norton puked oil, or spit loose a part or exhaust spigot or some such.. But Charm.. yup this bike has it..Can't wait for spring

Take Care..stay in control..kidding

I was passing him on the outside, I think it was an older CBR but not sure what kind.

You running Pilot Powers? The rear appears to be one, but is just blurry enough that I can't tell.

I just tried those on my last track day but the ones in the picture are Dunlop 208 gpa's.

Here's a couple more from that day.

I dunno if you want any evaluation on your body positioning or not....but I'll give you a pointer anyhow. :mrgreen:

Try getting your head lower, like just behind where the mirrors would be. This'll help get that weight over a little more in addition to hanging off, and also lower the center of gravity. This will also help your overall body position which should be parallel to that of the bike - spine in line with the bike. Check pic 2 to see what I'm talking about. Now imagine your head where it should be.

Also, in 1 of the 4 pics your outside forearm is not on the tank, but 2 other pics show it is. Don't know if you were trying some improvements or just slipped up on that one but it's good to have the forearm on the tank. It helps brace yourself while hanging off without unwanted bar input.

Thanks for the advice and usually I am in the position you described but I was really off that day, about 7 sec. off on times and never really felt comfortable. I think it was because I was control riding and more focused on trying to find people that were in the wrong group or out of control or just needed a hand. One session I swear I never got above 50 mph because I was running interferance for a woman on an ex250. If you notice in the last picture I'm waaayyy out of position just an off day.
