On my last session at the Stockton motoplex, I was chasing a DRZ, when I went down in the sweeper. My back tire was breaking loose in the same spot on the track everytime I got on the gas leaving the apex. It sliped about 2in to 4ins, but would grab in the end, and this became the norm all day! When it broke loose during the fall it went fast and hard. There was no time to counter. I was sliding on my ass before I had any time to react. I am using my commute tires like a simp, Avon gripsters, chasing guys on slicks. But its all good! I also put on a new flatside carb which is a big increase in power.
My question is, if you feel this slip and grab, is it time to adjust your line for a smoother exit? Or do I need more time on the track? I assume its both. I'm going to try a new line this weekend after reviewing the helmet cam video 20 times! Any input would be helpful.

PS I'll never ride the street hard again without my track leathers!
