Yes the novice was very entry level.
However I have been racing cars for a couple of years now and do have 'track' experence.

Are you guys saying %80 are to slow in the novice class? If so you need to move to the next level. That shouldn't suprise you if the novice class is designed for first timers or slower bikes.
90% are slow regardless of the group they select. Maybe 5 fast guys (not pro fast, but faster than the magazine testers and average club racers) at a typical trackday. The rest are a moving chicane.

I like it because it is easy to store, easy to drive with, easy to load, does not require to be regestered.
I cannot tell it is on the back of the truck. I can drive as fast as I want (as evidenced by the speeding ticket I just got)
But...
The damn thing scares me. I stop an average of 3 times per trip to check the tie-downs. I am so afraid that a tie-down is going to break and my bike will go rolling down the highway.
I think if I bought some high quality ties rather than the cheap home depot ones that I have I would feel alot better.

Yes I think I did. I did not see you with a 10 there.
I wish I had known it was you as I see your posts here alot.
Gas was the one thing I didn't think to bring.

Are you sure you don't remember the bike (and rider) below? We were sitting at our neighbor's pit when you came by. I directed you to our fuel jug next door which was holding down our canopy. The bike was up on stands with bright yellow tire warmers between the two pits. There's no way you could have missed it! BTW, if you think Moroso is fun, you ain't seen nothing yet. Make the drive to Jennings sometime. It's getting nice and cool now, so we'll be going more often. Also, Homestead is coming up in December. Get your license and come on out.

Did you have the green 10 with race body work? If so that was a bad bike!
(well even if that wasn't yours it would still be bad)
I want to go to Jennings ASAP.
As far as Homestead, F*%K that track! It is all walls there.
I killed my Porsche out there a few months ago. I would never run my bike there. I am sussposed to get my car back next week after like 3 months at the shop. I would have been dead if I was on my bike when I crashed.
I hit the wall at around 100 mph.
So when you going to Jennings next? I might make the hike up there as well.
I would like to get as much seat time as possible.
Let me know.
