AFM race weekend track days (4/27 at Infineon)

[uraniaclio]

Okay. I signed up for 4/27 C group with PTT at Infineon.
I knew it was the AFM weekend but I figured how bad can a C group get?
Then a friend of mine warned me, "I wouldn't go anywhere near those fookers."

Am I going to die on 4/27?

No. Go out and have fun. :)

A and B group you want to avoid. I assume C group will be ok. Remember, racers don't like crashing any more than anyone else. They avoid it at all costs. Hold you lines and do nothing sudden and you will be fine.

All I can say is that PTT seems to teach different (wider) lines than Keigwins or even ZoomZoom, which freaked me out the first time I rode with them.

PTT teaches the "racing line" from the get-go rather than the "only as much track as you need; tight lines" that keigwins teachs

A group will have alot of the fast guys
B group will have some of the fast guys who couldn't get into A in time

C group should be fairly free of racers

Michael Earnest's philosophy is to show riders the fast lines so they know here they are. i agree and disagree. I like to see people open their lines up as they increase their speed.

Phew...good. It should be fun watching some of the racers haul ass....in the other groups. :p
