Expect to be passed by smaller bikes, and unrelated, expect to have addictive fun!

Welcome. If you check any ego you may have at the gate, and listen to the control riders feedback/instruction you will have insane fun. Be prepared to either use all your self control, or go broke because this sport is extremely addictive. Again. Welcome to the family.

Welcome! What track(s) are you looking to ride? Also check out the Riders' Manual, there's a ton of good info in there: http://www.nesba.com/Info/Downloads/manual.pdf

I'm not exactly sure how to sign up for the intro day, which gives you the first two 20 min sessions in the morning for free. I think you have to create an account, and I think you can do that without paying a membership fee. That should give you a way to sign up for an event. If there isn't an option on there to sign up for intro, try emailing info@nesba.com to find out how.

Someone may chime in with how to sign up. I never signed up for an intro day, so not sure how that works as far as how to sign up. I'm sure someone else will post up.

But anyway, what you're looking to do is sign up for "Intro"...that's try before you buy thing...two free sessions in the morning, in the beginner group. Honestly, though, you may as well buy a membership and sign up for a full day. Two sessions will be a tease, LOL. Since you've never ridden on a track before, I recommend signing up in the Beginner group if you choose to do an entire day, instead of the Intro sessions.

Cool, I think you'll like it. You'll definitely learn good skills. Yeah, if you're not seeing an option for "intro", try emailing info@nesba.com to see how to sign up...I'd have thought it would be available as an option, but I'm not sure how it works when initially creating an account...

All you have to do is sign into your account, click on track dates, click on the event that you want for the intro sessions, click on the page icon that shows next to the event, the next screen that shows will have a drop down menu under skill level. Select Intro and then check out. That's all there is to it. If you encounter any problems contact Bob Ornduf at info@nesba.com and he'll help you out.

Welcome to NESBA, you are going to have a blast!

since you've been doing mtn/twisties, I'd strongly suggest give the track riding thing a full day. (even two)
You're preparing, driving to the track...and putting effort to do this, might as well do it the correct way.
then you get to experience the whole day's experience.

Also, morning sessions in Novice group are great, but after three morning sessions you're just warming up and real fun begins in the afternoon. The lunch break will give you time to reflect on the morning sessions.

welcome and g'luck

If the day is sold out and packed full. you won't get into 'B' group.
so I'd suggest signup for B group. rear the riders manual, prep the bike, tape lights. get psych'd haha

Barber on 11/12- 13 are all that's left for the 2011 season. Its a awesome track and a lot of fun.
get there Friday evening to setup the pits.
