Going +1 in the front of the SV.

[butcher bergs]

My nipples are still hard.

That place is absolutely incredible.

[Tricky Mike]

^^ and for the record I thanked for the nipple part

[Gunner]

Love the track!!!!

Way too many crashes though... red flags really took up a chunk of the track time

Yeah, seems some people don't know the respect of being a novice but still signing up for the advanced group or perhaps people were trying too hard to ride flah tout. There is so much fricken grip out there it's incredible so I'm thinking people were trying too hard.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there were a LOT of people who couldn't sign up for the group they should have been in. This is purely speculation as I wasn't there.

By my account, that was pretty much exactly what happened but because the groups were full there was no bumping down....at least prior to lunch time anyway.

well, a big part of the issue from a control rider's perspective is that the cold track/tire morning sessions got red flagged so quickly (1-2 laps in some cases) that they were over before we had an opportunity to see much of anything except bikes getting tossed down the track. 4 miles of track is a lot to monitor, even if we had complete 20-min sessions to do it. Ultimately, IMHO, it's up to the riders to keep the track green.

Exactly. People not taking it easy or trying to be heroes is what resulted in the day's interruptions.

Speaking from a customer standpoint, the Novices in Advance group, while not desireable, was a very manageable situation as long as the faster rider was prepared to be patient. As far as I could tell the problem was that there was a large group of riders in attendance that didn't want to accept that scenario.

Sounds like a mess... and a big/long track to monitor adds to that.

You thought a crashfest at 1.6 mile Loudon was a pain!! haha

I agree totally with the exception of "novices in advanced." You only say that because you didn't turn any laps in novice We did NOT have any novices in advanced.

But back to my agreement... there were a couple of guys in advanced that could have been "intermediated," as there were a handful of guys in intermediate that could have been "advanced"... IMHO, that's every trackday I've ever been to. Fact remains that if folks in the advanced group have trouble getting around someone running what they themselves complain as an "intermediate" pace, then *perhaps* they should consider bumping down. I know you didn't have any trouble getting around (considering you passed me... lovingly). I didn't have any trouble either (and I don't claim to be fast... just faster than Degsy). Who doesn't like passing m'fuckerz

[butcher bergs]

We did NOT have any novices in advanced.

Noted.

Regardless of the classification of riders, the Advanced group in particular was very easy to ride in with the right frame of mind.

I saw a guy out in advanced on a hyper. Not getting off the seat, not moving his head, heels on the pegs erratic lines and going at what I consider a novice pace. He may have been the only one though.
