Good job guys I knew you both would be hooked.

During my first session there came a point where there was a couple of trains that all got bunched up in turn 1 which caused the pace to slow drastically and very suddenly. It happend so quickly that I didn't have time to get my hand up to signal the riders behind me and a bike went screaming by me on the left and actually grazed against my knee and elbow and made even more contact with the bike in front of me.

This is why I question the practice of taping up brake lights. It makes zero sense, and would prevent this scenario. No need to re-start the debate, I just wanted to comment.

The 2nd one was when I was making a pass coming out of the last turn onto the front straight and the rider in front of me tracked out to the right (the exact opposite of what he'd done the previous two laps) and forced me off the track into the grass. I just kept on the throttle, kept the handle bars straight and rode it out and eventually got back onto the paved surface. . . . . . but I did make the pass!!!

what are the passing rules at these? Just seems strange that in a newbie session there would be passing in corners
