Alamano, you were smarter than your friends. If you're still in B, then you're not ready for I group and have things left to learn. Have fun learning. You'll end up passing your friends that signed up in I group.
Other organizations allow their riders to pick their group they're in for the most part. Very little quality control. Typically most NESBA groups are faster as a whole than other org's groups like STT and TPM for examples.
(Not picking on them just using examples). Why? The directors of NESBA care about YOU, their members, and YOUR growth as riders...and they also care about all the other members at the same time.
I had a GREAT time in B group the whole 35 track days over 5 years I was in that group. I learned more than I had ever imagined through working with the CR's at every event. Getting the yellow I sticker a year ago was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.
If you're not having fun in B group, figure out what you need to learn. Grab a CR and ask for an evaluation. Take note of what he or she tells you. Go out and practice it for a session or two, so slower if you must. You'll end up going faster in the long run. Then, kindly ask that same or another CR to follow you in a following session for a lap or two. Tell them what you're trying to learn. Be specific on what it is you're trying to learn like body positioning, lines, specific markers for turn-in/setting entrance speed (it's NOT braking), etc.
Eventually, you'll move up. Track days are not a competition, and the group you ride in is not a measurment of your manhood. (Forgive me ladies). Drop your egos. A B sticker is not an embarassing thing to have on your bike. B means your better than the guys and gals still riding the street that won't even try a track day. B means your beginning a journey of a lifetime of exploring your abilities and the abilities of your machine in a safe and controlled environment where risks are minimized compared to doing the same thing on public roads.
D-Zum OUT!
