• Pre-Race Weekend Prep Checklist

  … Let's see what needs to be done between tonight and tomorrow night to get the R6 ready for this weekends' races at Grattan.  I'm trying to plan this around *not* doing any of the below on Thursday, as it always seems we somehow are working/packing up something the night before we leave for the track.  This generally results in a lack of sleep and increase in stress (albeit minor, unless we're putting a motor back in or something crazy) to get things ready.  In any event, here goes:

  - Wash bike (it's dirty)

  - Change oil

  - Swap sprocket/sprocket carrier

  - Swap rear brake disc

  - Replace countershaft sprocket (we actually broke a tooth off it in the endurance race – something I've never seen before)

  - Clean air filter

  - Check over bike in general making sure nothing came loose during the 3-hour stint the bike just went through

  - Make James' recommended suspension adjustments (for going faster)

  - Clean/prep trailer

  - Get race gas

  - Hit Costco (Gatorade, Red Bull (check, already got it), V8, water, a few adult beverages, and power bars)

  - Pack for the weekend

  It may not seem like much (or it might depending if you're a racer and know how things always take longer than you initially think), but fitting that into a work week crammed with extra hours so we can be at the track for Friday practice always makes for a busy week leading up to racing.
