Sheep Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) YJ, I notice the groups are novice,inters and fast/race as they used to be but the last couple of years they were novice,euro/brit,pocket rocket,supers and fast....is it like the former again this year or the latter. Im only curious but i guess inters would be in superbike class?...either way as long as the track open i do not care Oh and do we need to download the relevant forms ourselves?..i know we can do it early on the day before registration but it does get really busy in the room and the more time i can save to get into the zone (go for a pre race poo) the better.

I will email the forms closer to the time once they are sorted by Darin and Rob at CBT... plenty of time to fill them out. There is no "Inter" class so it's the latter (if you aren't happy in the group you are in, chances are you can be moved into a more suitable one but it's not guaranteed as it will be a full quota on the Saturday. The guys are very keen to ensure it's FUN for everyone so if you aren't happy just say. YJ Quote Link to comment

I'm in the novice group because I've never been to Caldwell and I don't feel like smashing my bike up trying to be a hero. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest YoshiJohnny Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Anyone quicker has to go around you the long way....it's the law... Surprising the difference in ability of riders so it's all about respect....give it...and expect it Quote Link to comment
Sheep Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I started in novice but moved to a higher group last year and although i was faster than some,others left me behind.I can remember my first year there and i found myself trying too hard to keep up and trying to get my knee down etc lol..i then thought 'fudge it' and just rode my own way and unsurprisingly i felt a lot faster.Corners became easier and i started keeping people in check. The Hairpin and Barn bends i struggled with,but i loved coppice and Chris curve. Quote Link to comment
Guest YoshiJohnny Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Charlies and Mansfield for me.....but I was slow everywhere compared to most Quote Link to comment
Sheep Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Charlies feels like its going off camber slightly and Mansfield is tough on brakes i found Quote Link to comment
