you
might do a 1:33,
First thing is to work on the race line, no matter how much throttle you have in that R1 you aint quick unless you are on the race line,
and dont give me the B/S that you know the race line, you have been there 1 time and who knows when you will go back so you might have to learn it all over again,
I dont care how quick you are, if your not consistent and on the race line, you're not safe (for yourself or others around you) and I personally will slow you down to work on the fundamentals before you go twisting the throttle too much
second, you need to work on body position, you dont have to try to break the lap record to work on skills, you are better off backing off the throttle a lil while you work on the skills until you are comfortable to go faster
right now you should be able to run around Jennings in 1 gear, maybe upshifting down the straights, but
Third, you need to work on shift points, knowing when and where to shift will also help out on lap times (finding referance points on the track will help this)
fourth, sooner or later you will have to start braking, right now you shouldnt be on the breaks that much, learning reference point will also help with this,
sometimes you have to go slow to go fast, maybe one day you will learn what that means
and I aint trying to cut on you, just trying to help you (I am a control rider @ Jennings, just incase you didnt know)
