Only did one day at a place called MSR Houston. Was seriously hot and sticky. Engine did great as always, thanks Rick, but issues with hydraulic clutch again. Going to rebuild master cylinder. Had a few passes on me early in day but next to last session went out early and no one passed me. Was probably the heat and there was more than a fair share of red flags with the ambitious riders. Paddock asphalt temp was 141 degrees. Proud to say tire wear is great with my suspension set up. Not using all the front tire so still need more load on the front or geometry change. Will let the tire guy recommend the fix.

Early morning set up and preheat tires and rims.
Heat of the day. Sun was so hot had to cover tank to keep from vapor locking.
Laser temp reading of paddock asphalt
Rear tire
Front tire. Softer compound thus the wear.
Knee pucks. At COTA the pucks are perfectly smooth but this track has a rough surface.
More track day stuff
