That's a beautiful track. I'm the black zx10 close to you at turn 8 and 9.

[@alixvandurand]

I know we're spoiled rotten lol and you're pretty quick on that ZX10! I was holding you up haha after watching the footage I felt bad cause it looked like I squeezed you there.

@@alixvandurand It was all so much fun. Nice set up you have there with the lean angle,heart rate, lap times and speed.

[@alixvandurand]

@@Peanutbutterjelly00 Thank you! It took an ungodly amount of hours to figure out how to do. You gonna be at the next one in October?

[@Peanutbutterjelly00]

@@alixvandurandAll my friends are going. I high-sided and destroyed the bike. I'm ok just damaged some ligaments of my right wrist. Bike is a complete mess.

[@alixvandurand]

@@Peanutbutterjelly00 oh lord I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the recovery is going well. It was a pretty crappy day today with the weather anyway. We got rained out 3 of the sessions, lot of people went down :(

Nice!

What's the time cut off to get to expert group?

[@alixvandurand]

What do you mean, like lap time?

[@Dangerwiggles]

@@alixvandurand right, or if they call it "advanced" instead. There are times that you need to hit to bump up again?

[@alixvandurand]

@@Dangerwiggles yes, here it is Advanced. I'm not sure if there's a set lap time you have to hit but if there was it'd probably be the mid 1.40s or faster. It's more about overall pace and consistency I think. Naturally you gotta be faster than most other riders but also show a consistent race line so that you aren't wildly cutting across the track and doing all sorts of unpredictable stuff that can cause a bad accident (especially with multiple riders) in the upper class. I'm hoping to be bumped up next year so there's no restrictions on passing cause I like being in close proximity 🤣

[@Dangerwiggles]

@@alixvandurand thank you. It's a great track, wish I had gotten more than a single weekend to learn it. Good luck with your goals for next year!

[@alixvandurand]

@@Dangerwiggles it is such an awesome place. Do you live far from it that you can't come back to do another? And thank you! Sucks we gotta wait till next year but most track days don't run during the winter :/
