I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, so admins you can move if necessary.

I was talking with someone earlier today and wondered..

what are your strengths and weaknesses? street and track?

Slow on the street, slow on the track

Weaknesses: Kryptonite, not trusting me, no track experience yet, and I'm a punk-bitch.

strengths: I'm a legend in my own mind, you can only hope to contain me.

Just messing with ya Racedoll.

Same here. And I'm not getting any younger.

Weakness: My form isn't great, and I dont trust my tires enough. I'm afraid of crashing....again.

Strength:

Not trusting my tires and not riding twisty roads enough to get better at body positioning and such.

Street: Strength & weakness are the same. I'm overly cautious. I notice every little bad situation, driver error, little old lady, etc. I'd rather be on the track.

Track:
Strength is tight / technical stuff.
I'm good on the brakes and can overtake coming into a turn pretty easily.

Weakness is the long boring turns or the really fast trust your knee on the ground at 140mph stuff (especially if there is a bump or surface change mid-turn).
Occasionally, my overtaking on the brakes will lead to poor drive exiting the corner. I've been working on that this year.

street:
weakness riding too fast for the condtions at hand or pushing the limits for a public road way. that being said i tend to brake to early and dont carry enough corner speed
strength: comfortable in almost any situation esp. limited traction/ less then ideal road conditions. not talking about race pace here, just everyday riding and the things you face when you come over a rise and BAM there is a fucking backhoe in the road, just alot of road miles experience in a short time over alot of conditions

track: not enough time to really know, but i am sure its being too early on the brakes
