That was far too much fun. It had been a long time since I'd been on that track. I just wish I had a little more BeeAytchPee to keep up with Spewmonkey on the straights! Sadly, had to cut the last session short due to empty gas tank. It was a great reminder that there is no such thing as "FAST" on the street.

Semipermeable: As far as being ready for B group, if you are passing people in C group and can hold a consistent line through all the corners on the track, then I would say move up. Just be ready to get passed a little more.
Thanks Bro... Yeah it was Clownster. We were the only ones there from the messagenet and we had a garage all to ourselves... From the picture of me draggn, I can see that my upper body still needs a lot of work. I just need to commit my upper body just a little bit more.
In the C group, I was passing everyone. I was at the point where I was passing both in the inside and the outside. I think I'm ready for B group, but I'm just a little nervous...

Just think "kiss the mirror" (if you had one). If you were passing everyone in C, you are more than ready for B. Make the jump, you'll love it!!!
I haven't met Clowny or ridden with him, but he seems like a decent guy online. Maybe I'll run into him at a trackday somewhere!!!

If you are passing everyone under total control then I'd agree it's time to move up to Intermediate. However, it's always best to ask a Control Rider to take some laps with you & let them help you make the decision.

Too bad I didn't get to meet some of you there. Next time for sure...

Was that you that showed me your puck on Sat?? Congrats! Sat was a good time, but my fork was leaking so I had to skip Sunday and install a new fork seal so I could hit Buttonwillow today. Glad all you guys had a good time!

As far as moving up to B group, I'd have a control rider ride with you during a C session to check you out. This would be the best way of getting an honest answer.
