Bryan HiestandAFM #691

Hi Dave,

I'm the guy with the silver SV and the problem with my rear Pirelli slick tearing on the right side. Your changes helped and I was able to turn a few 1:50's (a new personal best) and I finished 15th in F4 after starting 38th on the grid.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Infineon Raceway has always been a challenge for me. It is more technically demanding than our other tracks and I was hopeful that being on the 600 would help me here. At the 3J’s track day, I went up to find out. Well, I was dirt slow. I was struggling with keeping the bike in the power and could tell that my suspension was totally wrong.

CRST's Jim and Nickie were there and so I went to Jim for some help. Like Dave, Jim is very systematic. He worked through the bike and made some changes, particularly in the front. The difference was night and day. I didn’t ask questions, I just let the lap times show it. I dropped 5 seconds in the last session of the day and left with some decent confidence.

Going into the weekend, I knew I had the suspension dialed in so I just needed to focus on riding. It was so nice to have that luxury. I spent Saturday just working the track. I had picked up enough speed that I was tearing up my rear tire quite a bit, but Dave took care of that with one look. He identified the problem and fixed it within one session, again, helping me focus on riding and getting faster. It all paid off Sunday as I ran three beautiful races. In 600 Superbike, I got a decent start, but was able to stay aggressive and brought my times from practice down by 2 seconds. In F1, I didn’t gain any time, but stayed at the faster pace in spite of having to battle three bikes for 6 of the 8 laps. And in 600 production, the last race of the day, I dropped another full second for my best finish on the 600 yet. I’m already excited for Round 3!

Thanks to Dave and Jim for the efforts to keep my mind on the track instead of on my bike.
