I scraped knee last track day I just didn't wear them down totally flat....
I caught some of the velcro and my leathers so
I had to flip the pucks around a few times during the day... they won't even last another day I'm sure images/icons/grin.gif

yeah, brake lever is bent...damn thing

here they are, for your viewing pleasure images/icons/smile.gif need to wokr on getting them down flat huh? I kept getting the leading edge harder, look how thin that one on the right is at front compared to originial thickness

yah I flipped them around forward to back at first, but I kept dragging my right all the way thru this long right-hander, so then I swapped knees....

I think it has to do w/ the fact I'm 5'7" maybe and also the rearsets... I touch with the front part of the puck most of the time images/icons/rolleyes.gif images/icons/smile.gif
