No, in a fast group you need to be predictable, if you are not fast.Blurr wrote:Disagree, your in a fast group and need to be fast if not predictable.Gosling1 wrote: ....it is up to the faster blokes to pass safely - end of story.
This is not race practice - it is a track day. If some muggins finds himself in the Red group and is a fair bit slower - then the fast guys owe it to all concerned - including themselves - to pass safely. There are no sheep stations at stake here.
Slow bikes are not the issue it is the unpredictability when we pass at speed.....
Otherwise your second point makes no sense

Faster blokes are faster because they have better skills - they need to use those skills to avoid skittling slower bikes.
In the end, if some muggins who is still travelling quick, gets chopped up by an A-grader in a track day - and comes off - then the only person to blame is the A-grader who didn't give the slower bloke enough room. It's just a track-day. Not race practice.
Race practice ? All bets are off, and the slow get killed and eaten. Easy.
