I think my lines ok, as i said 1st time ever there so was a tough learning curve that day, but i didnt want to drop down, so just hung in there, and tried not be a problem.
Tough track to learn straight up in fast group, that back straight is fuckin rough, thort i was back at QR!!!Had 2 runoffs that day, that motorcross background came in handy i tell u!!

Our first day there to mate

And from memory I didn't have any issues with anyone expect the guy on a hire cbr600 in the first session. He dropped down for the second.

Does anyone remember that big guy on the duke? 1098/ 1198 not sure, he went ok, went out behind him and thort mmm ok should be able to bet this duo, not so. that pissed me off, spanked by a duke, 1st time by memory. got some onboard footage at PI rounding 3 of em up, loved that, made my day!!! lapped a 996 twice in one session at broady the other sunday, loved that to!!

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.

Disagree, your in a fast group and need to be fast if not predictable.

Slow bikes are not the issue it is the unpredictability when we pass at speed.....

No, in a fast group you need to be predictable, if you are not fast.

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.
