Title: Kenny Coolbeth
Post by: stgsali on February 25, 2009, 02:00:47 PM
Here is a treat for the two-wheeled guys. Kenny Coolbeth rented our beloved track on Monday for a day of testing and tuning of his '09 honda 450. The guy was phenomenal. On a dry slick surface he was getting around the track in 20.6 seconds. After RD wet it down a bit (around 2 in the afternoon), his best time was an 18.3 second lap. This was on the CD5 compound too! He'd go into turns 1 and 3 WFO as he pitched it into the turns, then tapped the brake to set up for the exit. The lines he was taking going into the turns were so consistent that it was no wider that 1.5ft, the lines coming out were about 2.5ft wide. I didn't get out on the track to take any pictures but I did get a few from the fence. Enjoy!

Yes talked to Kenny this morning and he said he was having trouble with the reah shock. He sent it back to Penske. I will see him Fri. at the track here in Sav. Ga. His Dad will be with me here at Roedling Road in Sav. Im road racing with AHRMA Thurs. and Fri.  The AHRMA flat track is fri night and if I can get out of here in time I will race there. But my bike should be there and ready for me. I asked Kenny if he wanted to ride my bike in the AHRMA race in Sav. He said hell yeah.. We see what happens..        Donnie  #31
