i'm going to try to refrain from launching into anything too wordy but i will point out (having attended more than a few events with STT, midohio PTR, and motoseries) that: 1. caution in terms of speed/pace differentials should be pretty common sense for anyone who has played in intermediate OR advanced in ANY organization. If you're new to I or A, it's ALWAYS a learning experience, regardless of org. 2. that, despite #1, such dangers ARE mentioned in any riders meeting I've attended, regardless of the org. Passing rules are a different story: every org is different. Despite that, I see the same types of passes in I and A groups of any org. 3. that yes, no matter who you ride with, if you see someone who doesn't belong in a certain group or is generally dangerous, you should say something. If you do, and there is inadequate response, that's a problem. again, no matter what org. disclaimer: this post, and any post i might get into later are ONLY from me personally, and do not represent the views of any org I've ridden with, staff with, have lingerie parties with, etc etc
