Hey, dont get me wrong... Im not criticizing any of the LSR santioning bodies or the way they run an event.
I can give you a brief synapsis of why I think 9/10ths is safer:
-Level asphalt
-lots of visibility
-9ft wide lanes
-plenty of runoff/shutdown area (not requiring brakes)
-sea level
Im sorry old post but Turboblew your 9/10 runs are safer gets thrown out the door by lsr events no holds barred.
-Level Asphalt you say, bonneville is 7-9 miles of hard salt, less than 1% grade entire track for 7-9miles.
-Lots of visibility - umm how does 23 miles of visibility strike you on the salt.
-9ft wide lanes - umm try 40 feet lanes at bonneville.
-plenty of runoff/shutdown area (not requiring brakes) - umm how does about 5-10 miles of shutdown area sit with you? Pretty damn good to me. NO brakes required to slow down.
-sea level -- ok you might have us there, but I will take 4280ft on a very good day anyday over cement walls, other rider coming into your lane, short comparable to bonneville shut down area etc etc.
you need a better argument then that for saying 9/10's is safer.
