I was wondering if anyone has ridden with this organization called Midwest Track Day? I noticed that they have BHF listed for 2013???

I'm sure it would get sorted out, but the concern is what happens prior to that happening. This would be an event where I might sit out the first hour or so, and let the CRs do their thing.cooker1;262466 wrote: I understand what you are saying Jim but it will be obvious real quick who belongs and who does'nt not sure how he will deal with this but will find out !

What's 2 years have to do with it anyway? I've technically not been doing trackdays for 2 years and the 1st season I was out for most of it for a surgery and I'm in A group. And what constitutes a year?

I'm trying to imagine me running my A-pace while there are beginner level riders circulating at the same time. It's not like I can't navigate traffic, but who might get spooked and alter their line, or worse, run off.
They recommend 2 years track experience, but how are they going to verify this with each individual? The CR's are going to have their work cut out for them.

Just curious. What do you expect the "slow" time to be at Putnam...or what will the cutoff be that you tell people they can't hang? Assuming good weather.cooker1;262531 wrote: OK here it is !!!!!!!

It is what it is open lapping open track if you are are scared stay home there will be no refunds if you sign up and can't hang you wasted your money ! I guess we aint playin no more put up or shut up ! Iwill be there watchin y'all so don't be slower than me ! Lets have some FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At Putnam? Anything under 1:20 is good enough for advanced. Inside 1:35 is good I pace and anything else is B.z064life;262532 wrote: Just curious. What do you expect the "slow" time to be at Putnam...or what will the cutoff be that you tell people they can't hang? Assuming good weather.
I guess that's where I'd have concerns. I'm not sure how you can charge $225/day and then kick somone out because they aren't fast enough without knowing what fast is. I've ridden at Putnam many times and the difference between sub 1:20 and upper 1:20s (I group) is a lot....and there are guys that can run 1:12-1:14. It's only an hour drive for me so I may come watch and see it unfold and then signup for the next weekend you are there. Its a decent concept, but I know when I was running low 1:20s in I, it was dangerous.cooker1;262533 wrote: you know I don't know I guess just don't be a dangerous road block !
That's in general and yes you are correct. 1:15-1:19 and 1:35 at putnam won't mix well in my opinionsome guy #2;262544 wrote: At Putnam? Anything under 1:20 is good enough for advanced. Inside 1:35 is good I pace and anything else is B.
