hey driver the best thing i would say is your racing line take the corner a little wider on entry and have you ever herd of slower is faster? that means to slow down into the apex then at the apex slam it and you will come out faster. Also do you have a anti-sway bar if not i would get one ASAP

Doyle, I agree with Dwags on the sway bar, and I still suggest some tires also. Atleast a set of rears. As far as technique i let off 10' to 15' from the turn to 3/4 to half throttle.. get my line.. start high going in..feather the throttle to about 3/4 of the way through the turn move ur weight back to the rear axle and hammer down. It's all timing.

Also alot of it depends on track conditions and style of track. Some places are more slick or more tacky than others. Longer, shorter corners, ect.

This is good advice. It sounds like you might be going into the corners a little to hot.

When you are on your quad, how is the angle on your swingarm? If the swingarm pivot is lower then the center line of the axle, you lose traction. Sit on the quad and have a buddy look at the swinger, if it points up to the axle, raise it up a little. I only ask this because you said you are 2 inches off the ground. When I first started flat track racing it wa son a 300ex, and it was way too low. A few guys talked me into raising it a little and it made the difference.

i dont know if this makes any difference but when u sit on it the chain feels good and plenty of slack but when u get off it tightens up pretty snug is that normal with the whole lowering kit experience?
