Trackday Questions...

[zortness]

The intermediate group is where all of the wrecks happen... There's a lot of guys who can ride their bike fast, but they're not mentally ready to be going that fast, nor is their body in a good enough position to get good feedback from their bike.

I like the way TrackXperience does it with two groups. Novice and advanced. Not too many riders in either group, so there's plenty of room on the track. The advanced level would be like a level 3 fastrack group.

Like DLIT mentioned earlier, my absolute favorite track days are with SoCalTrackDays and their no-sessions format. It's supposed to be for advanced riders only, but anyone can register. As long as you hold your line, it really doesn't matter how quick you are, people will just fly past you, but I've actually seen them pull people off for riding erratically. 35 riders total for the entire day, so plenty of open track. If you go to one of these, you're likely to see some factory test riders, AMA riders, or even tire testers.
