First off, I'd like to thank the 85% of the riders that simply followed the rules... didn't crash... and improved their riding. You riders make up my DREAM track day. If we could find a way to only allow these riders into Track Day, everyone would get almost 3 hours of track time and I'd be very relaxed.
For the 10% that crashed while following the rules and being respective of their fellow riders, I hope that you were able to learn something from the crash and you too are more than welcome to return... and since you already crashed, you may be less likely than those above to repeat.
Now... for the "problem childs" that make up the last 5%.
I guess it's just like anything else where a few people just don't seem to be on the same page as everyone else... or feel like the rules are for others.
Basically, I spend about 1/2 of my day dealing with the same issues or people. I'm getting very tired of hearing the same excuse - "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I couldn't pass there"
I must say about 100 times that the rules are clearly posted and its your responsibility to know them. If you have any questions, ask BEFORE you get on the track!
Anyway... there are some changes coming for next year to address this issue, as well as people that have simply gotten too fast for our events. And I don't mean that some of these fast guys aren't following the rules... it's just that I am not comfortable with having huge speed differences on the track.
Our website will be undergoing a complete renovation this winter. We are going to change the look, improve the signup process, and make some new rules and guidelines. We look forward to a great 2005 season and hope to see the "good" 95% back.
As always, your input is requested on ALL aspects of our events. I know we aren't the cheapest track day around, but we are striving to be the best. And my gut feeling is that people will remember having a great day far longer than the extra $25 it may cost.
Once again... THANK YOU for supporting our events and ride safe!
