Trackdays - that bloke with all the money.

Oh how I laughed - truer than a true thing.

Soooo long. I think i got the joke after around two minutes.

Got to love the self made animations though.

Ha ha ha! It is rather long... but very funny.

That is all.

These people are normally overtaken by a guys on a CB500 or a Formula 400

One of them smacked into the side of my housemate Carl at Mallory and fell off. Carl's a tidy rider and stayed upright, but the very trick MV Agusta F4 the more-money-than-ability guy owned was totally trashed. He got back to the paddock, pulled out a fully race prepped R1 from his huge van and used that from then on. The bloke was useless, I managed to lap him twice in one session on a scabby 100K mile old Bandit 600 and back then I wasn't much cop on track.

I ride bottom to mid-pack in fast group on my CBR600 and quite often Freddie Russo will come flying past me on a borrowed CB500.

It's fast group not novices - you get people who are extremely fast and racers in there amongst the others, like me, who are a bit too fast for inters but not at full on race pace. Generally speaking, I'd rather be a slower rider in the fast group than a faster rider in amongst the clueless novices who brake mid-corner/swerve all over the place and the inters muppets who can't decide whether they are a fast or slow rider that day.

i know what your meaning, with the pace and I would rather be a group above for self preservation etc..

I'm in the novices this year be at two TD's at most

Fast group riders generally have a better idea of what the clue is. Novices is the scariest place to be if you have an inkling of what it is. Inters can be just as bad because you have people who should be fast group mixed in with those who over-rate their own ability (or lack of it) and should be in with the novices. Fast group riders do tend to pass a bit closer, but they are better riders and while it may look scary at first it's not usually once you get used to it.
