Our inaugural N2 event at RRR was a huge success! Here's a picture of N2 CEO Rob Cichielo showing his favorite dance moves for everyone in the lunchtime classroom session! Actually this was the lunchtime classroom review and he's demonstrating how properly hanging off in corners on the track dramatically improves your cornering speed and stability/safety.
For those that missed it or otherwise want a bit more info, here's a summary.

For those that missed it or otherwise want a bit more info, here's a summary.
Folks were learning and improving how to ride fast and safe. The groups were small enough and Intermediate riders good enough that we combined sessions after lunch on Sunday, which meant double their track time. We had no serious incidents the entire weekend. We had overcast skies which kept temperatures down, quite nice at night. There was a brief shower at lunch on Saturday and some lightning towards the end of Sunday that barely cut into our riding time. Oh, and a big turtle triggered 1 red flag.
All in all, the weekend was absolutely awesome!!! It was the first of many more to come for N2 at RRR! We're looking forward to more events like this in the Southeast, so please help spread the word!
For more background on this track:
This track is sometimes overlooked, but it has a lot to offer. It has good facilities meaning bathrooms with showers, concessions with a variety of food in a breezy pavilion, an air conditioned classroom, vending machines with drinks & snacks, on site gas including race fuel. It's good for camping, some shaded spots can be found. It's not far from Savannah and the local town of Bloomingdale or nearby Pooler have several hotels and restaurants. The track is literally surrounded by residential neighborhoods within shouting distance of the track, so noise limits and quiet times must be respected and are strictly enforced. There is also a house in the middle of the track where the track host/maintenance and groundskeeper lives with his family.
