PM me. I will be unloading the track parts off of my 675R sometime soon.

I was there too on Monday riding in Novice. It was my 2nd track day and the first of this year. There was an older guy on a Harley who went down the first session of the day then packed up and left. I broke into the 1:50s by the end of the day and got both knees down so I was damn happy! Can't wait to go back on the 21st or 22nd. How many Novice days does it typically take before getting bumped up to Intermediate? Putting around for the first four sessions of Novice kind of sucks.

 

I have a 2004 R6 that is serving dual purpose right now but it's my only bike; anyone have a cheap beater 600cc track bike for sale?

I happened to get bumped up to Intermediate after the first afternoon session. It was my third track day at Mid O this year and I think it helped my pace immensely to be at a familiar track. This is my first track year and Monday was my 9th day this year. Previously I have ridden weekends at NCBIKE, Putnam, Summit-Shenandoah, and Mid O. Now that I have tasted Intermediate, I love it. With that being said, I still think I will run Novice on any new tracks so that I can learn the line under guidance without jamming up other riders. After my first afternoon Novice session, my coach kept me on and asked if I wanted to run Intermediate  behind him. Hell yeah! I could definitely identify a few riders that I think would benefit from being bumped back down to Novice to learn the track better. I would say the top third of the Novice group were a bit faster at that track than the slowest third of the Intermediate riders.

If you feel like you should move up to Intermediate, ask a coach to follow you and they will let you know.
