Hill- The track was far from empty on the day as they had been bumping Intermediate riders to Advanced due to heavy numbers. The fact is simple. Guys running :33s and guys running :43s is a 10 second difference. You can look and see clear and within the time between Turn 7 and 10a (You didn't look during those times), I can sneak up on you rather quickly. It is also the job of ANY track day rider to focus forward. Yes, looking over the shoulder coming onto the track from the pits is acceptable. But you are also far left and off the line... The choice you made to go far right and slow dramatically is not permitted and I would have pulled you in and told you to never do it again... I am not being a hard ass - I am talking safety and it is something we made very clear to NOT do in the Rider's Meeting... As for coaches braking hard in 14, not sure what they were doing as there shouldn't be heavy braking there. Could they have been following someone and that person had an issue and they reacted? Always three sides to every story... As for Thunder, there were several guys bumped up as mentioned and while it is something we preach, same with you looking over the shoulder - people still do it. The Intermediate guys may have very well have been out of their elements and did the human thing where they forgot. It is a major issue and I had some issues as well. It is something we battle at that track on a regular basis...
