Just got back from VIR (North Course). I'm new to track days (other than a CSS class) and figured I'd check it out. I had two goals, to go out on my new ZX-6R 636 and have fun practicing my basic skills (throttle control, turn points, etc.), and not drop the New Bike!
Being new to all of this , I just have a few questions about if this was a typical trackday
1. After the Staff vehemently warns about how cold the track is, somebody drops it on the first lap on cold tires.
2. In the B group, after courteous morning sessions, all decorum is lost in the afternoon and passing in the turns is the norm.
3. About 3 B'ers go offtrack every session
4. CRs blow their engines, leaving a trail of oil for the noobs to follow.
5. Is it always this much fun? !!!
Being a true track beginner, it seemed to me that there were some very capable riders out there in B group. On average, about how many track days does it take to be moved up to I group?
I really liked the camaraderie of everybody there, and it seemed like a great bunch of people. A wide variety of bikes to check out. I look forward to riding with NESBA again. :cheers:
