For Pacific, the official numbers from the track website with the '3a' '3b' action or the 2fast numbering, or something else entirely?
The 2Fast image shows the numbers as WMRRA uses them.

anything faster than jogging speed, cuz that's what i'm doing now! the first two weekends were plagued with rain as we all know, so not a good time for my first visits to the track. this past weekend i finally got my gearing right... put a lower first gear in to help with the bus stop (not numbered in either diagram i might add!) and just kept adding final gearing until i could only just pull 6th at the end of the straight... i guess i should point out that i'm on a 125... anyway, now that i have that sorted i can start working on lines and corner speed, but it's hard to talk to people without knowing what corner they're referring to!

I'm thought about racing 2 strokes (like a 250gp or a 125gp) but I figure I don't want to work on them so much. :)
the bus stop (not numbered in either diagram i might add!)
That blue smoke must be getting in your eyes. ;)
The 2Fast/WMRRA image says "10 - Bus Stop".

haha! yeah, true enough! it's the wmrra race day schedule diagram that doesn't have the bus stop numbered...

eh... change your piston twice a season... half an hour... if you like wrenching you can do as much as you want, but if you just want an amazing handling bike that's super cheap on tires you can just put a fat jet in and run... it doesn't have to be SUPER intense in the maintenance department...

That's good to hear.
So how much does a 125GP or 250GP bike usually go for?

4 grand for a 125? look at www.usgpru.net and www.fatbaq.com for a good start...

The bus stop/10 is labeled in the 2 Fast diagram. We also have a 2B as you are coming out of 2 so we can see down the hill. Come corner work and you can get up close and personal with the different turns! ;) It is a great way to observe the lines that others take and the best seats in the house to watch the races.

Definatly. Watching turn 5/6/7 for the day really helped my confidence in that entire section of the track.
