Racers are only supposed to go out in the racer groups.
So during the Soar practice/track days, do the Racers just slot themselves in any of the groups? Or do they get slotted in Red/Fast group? Genuinely curious.
I've never heard of anyone making a living around here from riding at a track day, work on the Monday is inevitable, it should be fun first.
That's the thing some weren't treating it like a track day. I seen some really aggressive passes. Most were clean but I seen some where they forced the other rider to slam on their brakes completely taking their lines. I'm fairly new at track days also but if was completely new I'd be turned off with the whole thing. Things did settle down after lunch.
passing were they shouldn't???? it's a race track as long as you don't make contact it's clean..if you don't like it stay at the doughnut shop and brag to your friends how fast you are. friday track days add NO revenue to soar. that is all grand bend $$$.
It's not a track day it's a friday pratice for a race weekend. It's not our fault if our level is so much higher then yours.That's the thing some weren't treating it like a track day.

Most other track days the "slow" group passing is only allowed on straights. And there is certainly unsafe passing even in motogp level.passing were they shouldn't???? it's a race track as long as you don't make contact it's clean..if you don't like it stay at the doughnut shop and brag to your friends how fast you are. friday track days add NO revenue to soar. that is all grand bend $$$.
what don't you understand tim
you just said it. TRACK DAYS this is a friday pratice... most track day guys i have met don't have a clue and don't want to learn.
showing up with stock bodywork street tires and rubber brake lines...clueless wonders.

Caboose we were all in the slow group. I wouldn't recommend a soar weekend to any newbie. Maybe it was a few bad apples
If it's not a track day why did they let us in with our street bikes?you just said it. TRACK DAYS this is a friday pratice... most track day guys i have met don't have a clue and don't want to learn.

So I guess everyone is supposed to have a race bike to do a trackday, whatever. Does anyone know how newman is?
It's common to have different passing rules for different groups at a TD. Being a "Trackday Group" its understandable that some riders might expect some ground rules for passing.
That might be the best thing to take from this conversation. With there only being one TD group, it's most likely that you won't have passing rules in place like you'd see in the beginner group at another TD.
Point is I was in the slowest group to which I thought was a track day. I did not know it's solely for "racers". If I did do you really think I would of suggested it for new guys to try a track day?
Weird most track day guys I meet are down to earth. You must be a exception.
What I heard, Femur in2 places... Which is horrible
Crashing on a pit bike In a dress and lipstick.... For the nurses... Priceless
It would be best if Grand Bend would not sell a begginer group for these Friday's or if they do they should require the person running the day to enforce beginner group rules.
