Unless you are Ruben Xaus....I'd recommend not hot dogging at the track. Besides endangering yourself, you may endanger others.

It would SUCK to get taken out by someone paying more attention to the photographer than the riders around them.

Thank you.

We will no longer be publishing photos with situations like this. I just can't have that encouragement out there. Besides, without meaning to offend, I think the initial photo is more a testament to Michael's ability with a camera than the rider's with his bike...

It's not that hard to take the hand off the left clipon.

But I agree, it's better to keep both on the clipons and eyes on the track.

i agree that it shouldnt be encouraged... and I'll admit that it isn't the smartest thing to do... that particular shot of me was taken while I was stuck in the novice group (1st track day with them) behind slower riders that i wasn't allowed to pass. no excuse, i know. thank god for hot pitting.

You're not allowed to pass? Even in the straights?

When I ride with NESBA (who doesn't allow inside passing in intermediate), if I get behind someone who "parks" it in the corner, I back off of them in the straight, and catch them in the corner. I get a better drive coming out and pass them on the straight or around the outside.

in that particular org.. (as with many others) in the beginners group they don't allow passing just because some riders are easily startled by it or may try to keep up and get in over their heads. if i'm not mistaken they still allow it on the straights with a very wide berth.
