    well after closely looking, and talking to my buddy brian about my incident, we have found the problem.. After thinking about it and closely inspecting things, i had remembered, i had put a BRAND new rear tire on for tally. As we were talking i had realized that the power one front, had 2 full days of nashville on it (left side track), some riding time around here, a FULL day of tally on saturday, and partial day sunday.. The tire was basically GONE on the left side. It never really crossed my mind.. Whats bad is, i had a new one in the trailor for the front. Thats why is slid out on me in the 3rd session just a little bit, then kendrick rode it said it was sliding, and i changed air pressure and went back out and ofcourse it came up from under me.. on a left hander...My lack of detail got me. Ill fix it back as money permits, andill be back on the track.......

    Thanks for all the kind words and the support....

    97 WILL BE BACK to the FINEST track day association once again.. Till then, good luck, be safe, and keep up with your tires..

    I did the exact same thing in the exact same spot my first track day. Just like you I had a new front in the truck as well. Swapped it and didnt have another issue.

    Tim, I have some insights for you, as well. Make sure you check out the photos of you from the outside of T3. There are contributing factors other than your tires. You even mentioned one Saturday night. Remember your arms being sore? What did I say? Because of the extra input you're putting into the front (instead of your core), then you risk assisting the bike to tuck from underneath you. Of course your tires may have slid because of wear and what not, but that extra bit of weight you had in the handlebars tipped it over the edge.

    A sliding front tire wants to point in towards the turn. Your left arm was sore suggesting that the left handlebar had a lot of extra weight.
