I've been spreading the news, but haven't seen any return for my efforts so far. I don't know what's up with people. This is a great deal, with great people.
I'm really beginning to wonder if the economy is hurting that many people. A lot have expressed interest but no commitments yet.

I am about ready to sign up, but I don't know which level to sign up for.

I am guessing intermediate, but truly have no idea!

I ride Palomar about every other weekend and i am pretty fast. this being said, I have never ridden a track.

Any ideas???

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Also, I might be coming with two friends, both being slower, if they are in the beginner class, and I am in the intermediate class, would we even be able to ride together??? If not, what would be everyone’s recommendations?

Thats a great deal, I will probably be in if I can sell the ZX10R by then.

My recommendation is to sign up for the beginner group to start with, as you have never been on the track; riding on the track is different than riding on the mountain roads, as you will find out. If you feel the need to move up and one of us control riders agrees with that, we can always move you up to the next level. Additionally, if your friends are in the slower group and you want to ride together, then you should be in the slower group so you can ride with them.

If youve never been to the track before start in the C group. Everyone has to start there on their first track experience (I'm pretty sure thats the rule anyway), as its quite different than riding on the street. The control riders will bump you up to B if you need to. This way you'll get to ride with your friends too.
