@i-Zapp - I registered here just to reply to this post. lol
I just came back from VIR as a student and to complete the CSS coach requirements. From what I saw and your comments, on your first day... you held back too much. When they say to ride at 75% they REALLY mean it. So you're not a novice, fine... don't ride like one. Ride fast enough to where the drills make sense and are challenging. It will also help your coach help you get the most from their drills & coaching. Level 1 doesn't mean "ride slow", it means to "play nice" with traffic you are passing and ride at a pace you can work the drill with focused purpose. I rode nearly A pace for my level 1.
For example; the very first drill is "throttle control" with no brakes. To fine tune your throttle control skill with no brakes and still ride a pace that allows you to drag a knee is quite challenging. But... it's nearly impossible at too slow of pace without some crazy bp. Same deal with the 2nd drill of "turn point".
I hope you enjoyed Laguna and will see you soon at Mid-O.

Who are the OR.net Mid-Ohio instructors?
in Track is Crack

I have been known to help a few riders during my time at Mid-O. The coaches there are always willing to help make the day safe, successful and fun for everyone.
A few coaches really specialize in helping first time track riders. Everyone there pretty much knows who they are, just ask anyone wearing a jersey and they will point you in the right direction.
If you don't want the fun to stop after the riding is over for the day, just follow your nose. I am normally the one grilling food for 10 or more. Pull up a chair, grab something from the cooler and come say hi.
See y'alls there!
