Hello everyone, I recently moved to Columbus, OH from Cali and I'm signing up to be a member with NESBA. I have a couple of questions. First the registration page is asking me if I want B or I group. I've ridden sportbikes for 10 years, but last year was my first attempt at track days. I started out in B groups but after 3 days I was bumped up to I and then ran some "open" track days with Advance guys right before I moved with no issues. I even asked them in the pits if I was slowing them down and they told me not at all, that it was more about the fact that I was predictable than my speed.
I've heard NESBA's groups are faster than most? Anyway I don't know the tracks around here as I've never been on them before but I don't want to pay a chunk of hard earned money only to ride around bored in B group. The verbage on the member registration for B says, "if you've never been to the track before..." So I'm thinking I should start in I and then if I'm too slow I can be bumped down? Or should I start in B to learn the tracks and feel things out? What is the process to get bumped from B to I and is it done between sessions or only after the day is over?
Ok, that's a LOT of questions. Any help would be appreciated. Regardless my first day with NESBA will be the May Mid-Ohio day
