I would just like to say as a “Veteran
” rider, I’m all for optional classroom instruction between sessions. A body position seminar could also be very helpful, and a track walkthrough with a track map would really rock for new tracks.
I know the CRs have to run Tech & do the CR morning meeting, I’m not sure that they would have time for introductions, but that could help. If not, I know there are times early on that I would follow a CR and wasn’t sure who it was. Putting a big Number or Name on the back of the CR shirts could really help with this.
There is on thing that a number of people suggested that I don’t like at all. I think assigning a CR to a group of beginners would ruin my day. I have done an STT event like this and I understand that it can help out first timers with comfort level. However I hated the format, and will not attend another STT event because of it. I would really hate to see NESBA switch to that format. Now that said, if there was an optional group that did this for the first 2 sessions, it could help some guys with comfort level. There would just have to be a lot of thought put into how it would work so that the regular ‘B’ group could go, while the other group plays follow the leader.
I really like the idea of a “pot luck”. I think a number of us do this already, but getting together as a whole and doing this would be great.
Oh yea, one more thing that could make track days better is to attract some slower
group guys so I could feel fast for once! Oh, and any Photoshop gurus out there that can alter one of my pictures so I look like Rossi would be nice as well.
