Let me start off by stating that 1. I am not an expert racer or claim to be
2. And not affiliated with any track day organization.
With that said, looking back on this year I noticed at both Jersey events I rode blue group in, a rider crashed in front of me after making a pass going into turn 4 on the first 9am group!! Now granted I am riding a 68 hp bike but that should make it all the easier to pass me on any of the nice straights... Once I switched over to black group for both days, no more issues.
Please, if this rant helps one person only, don't flipping ride over your head on a track day as the day you ruin could be someone else. Both times they were very nice bikes in street trim and remained parked for the weekend with significant damage. When they say to take it easy in the morning group meeting, it's for a good reason. They don't give refunds for crashing.
