They are N but since they have the inside connection with Charlie, they get bumped to A.

Trey, you are looking MUCH better out there than last year. I'm sure the bike has helped some but you have definitely improved on taking better lines through turns and not going so wide on exit... You will definitely get faster in A group but you want to be sure you are safe and maintain very smooth lines. In A group, you will be a passing marker and they pass CLOSE so you want to be sure you are extremely predicatble so a bad situation doesn't happen between you and another rider.

Here is a short clip. Keith was following me the first couple laps when Charlie sneaked out on the track and put the pass on us @ around 36 seconds. They kinda disappeared after that. Then @ about 3:50 I get passed by Brice on his S100RR. You can barely see it on video (much better live) but Brice spins up the rear pretty good @ 6:18 and his traction control kicked in:

Here, fixed that for ya
What, someone stay up all night editing video when they got home? Trey, I had a 1:45 in there somewhere; you were running 1:47 and 1:46's consistently. Jay, my best lap all weekend was a 1:41.1 - not bad for the first weekend, but something you can beat pretty easily...
I was following Trey, didn't even know Charlie was on the track until he blistered us both - in my mind was "oh HELL no"...and then he pits off before I have a chance to get him back
Trey, I will echo what Jay said: You riding has improved GREATLY since the last time you were out on the track. IMHO (a non-coach opinion which carries no weight), is that the main thing you need to fix before going to A is your LINE ON EXIT. You've fixed about half of it already, but that drifting out is unpredictable, and a lot of A riders would think you were going to hold the line and attempt a pass (sometimes CLOSE) on the outside - just about the time you'd drift out...fix that, and I think you are good to go. A close pass on the outside of a turn, with the passer decreasing the radius on you - is well, unnerving....except for that one issue, you looked pretty dang consistent to me. There were some other A riders out there in I in those sessions, and they couldn't pass you either.
Did I mention your bike is FREAKING FAST? Jeez, on the straights I could match you, but not enough to pass you. Do you have video of that pass I made on you in the front straight in the first session we rode together?
It was a great weekend all-in-all. Getting a warm weekend after so much cold was blind luck. Track had a few weepers, but not bad. Two pretty bad accidents: One on Saturday (a bike was following another too closely, and the lead missed a gear - following bike plowed into him).
The one on Sunday I was right in the middle of and somehow made it thru unscathed: Going down the straight heading for the museum turn, a AMA racer goes blitzing past on the outside, and one of the Northern Coaches (on that nice orange KTM) goes blitzing by on the inside, both of them heading for the turn at the same time. The KTM on the inside realizes hes going too fast to make the corner, grabs a handful of brake - smokes tire which invokes flying highside (KTM goes somersalting and rider with it), just about the time the AMA racer converges on the turn - I don't remember if the AMA racer crashed trying to avoid, ran off the track himself, or actually impacted the KTM or it's rider. All I remember is smoke, riders, and parts flying thinking to myself "stop target fixing and DODGE this crap!' and made the turn. One for sure got transported but that's all I know right now.

No, I didn't have the camera on when you passed me the first time.
Yes, Brice has the sticker. He will be there in April too. I followed him an entire session, had a great time. Team Gixxer and Team Beemer is going to have a blast in April. By then, Felix will have the limiter off. Can't wait to see what he does with an unrestricted S1000RR.
