Sunday was very much the learning experience on finding and sticking to the groove, there seemed to be some lack of communication between what people were told and what they actually did...had a few almost ass packings in front of me..people getting on in a blind turn...and then not pitting, and those who haul ass in the straights but then brake hard and lose all momentum, and those that decide to pit, while still in the race line, brake hard and cause the 5 people passing them to fly off in all directions...

learning experiences all...

Glad to hear you had two great days. Great pics. Maybe it's just the corners you were in, but it looks like you hang off more on the left side than the right. Glad to see you're getting body positioning in line, though!!

The dangers of novice, but you still get those asshats that can gun it in a straight line and not take a turn in intermediate as well.

Wow Rae, I see a huge improvement since the photos from your previous TDs. Great work! I find that pics and vids are the most helpful thing for me in gauging what I need to work on.

Hello all!
I was one of the instructors/control riders on Sunday. I wanted to give kudos to Rae. She has improved a LOT since the last track-day!
The pictures are great but don't do her justice. Rae was actually hanging off quite a bit but you can't really tell in some of the pictures.
Myself and the other control riders were very impressed and pleased when Rae told us she wanted to go out by herself and practice what we had been teaching her all day.
Good job Rae!!! I had a great time with all the local crew, I can't wait till we all do it again

PS That yellow bike in your signature looks familiar.... but the numbers are backwards!

Sweet good to see we got a control rider here. Sorry about the delay on approving your post.
