Ok... Given I only have one day (Sunday) it would be nice to not wait all day to get bumped. High 1:20s with 1:27 best at roebling 2 weeks ago at RR fest. Don't know if that gives any perspective. Also did level 1 and 2 with California Superbike School at Barber. Didn't record lap times but felt like I was in the middle or bottom of top 3rd of the riding group.No, that can't be changed. If you get the bump (promotion) to Intermediate then it will be changed in the system for the rest of your upcoming events. Since this is your first year of trackdays and your first event with N2, Novice is my recommendation. If you are riding well, the Control Riders (CRs) will notice. If you belong in Intermediate, they'll bump you. Then, as I'd said, your subsequent events will be changed to Intermediate.
I think you'll find our Novice group to have an overall faster pace than Intermediate groups with other orgs. Work with the CRs, work on what they recommend, and you'll get your bump.
Welcome again to N2, you're going to have fun and learn a lot.
Agree on lap times. Ok cool. I'll talk to a CR before first ride and go from there. While we all always have room to learn I think I'm pretty strong on those points. Very intentional and planned throttle control and body position and most certainly respectful of rules and other riders. Will talk to a CR. thanks for the help.I'm not familiar with laptimes on southern tracks, so I can't comment except to say it's not all about laptimes. It's also about being smooth, predictable, with good body position and techniques, and passing within the rules of the group. Get out to the grid early, and be in the front of the middle line of riders (CRs are on the far left, faster riders center, slower on left). Talk to a CR and ask for an evaluation.
