Couldnt agree more with everything said. Pacing yourself is so important, just bc u think you can ride down patterson at a quick pace doesnt mean much on the track. I too am one of those rare guys that hardly drags knee, but i do drag frame slidders/body work on occasions... i actually dislike dragging knee, its noisey, lol. Feeding that adrenline rush isnt the best way to be fast, if you want to be fast you need to be a thinker more than anything, its just likes chess.... just at 150 mph, lol.
