Rick, I'll be in "A" but I also hanging in B+ with Roberto and Brad.

Wow, I'd like to ride on B+ too... How could I ride both groups Alberto?

You are currently signed up for B+ group, at least that's what you asked for.  If you want to change it just let Lance know.  Also with Keigwins if they aren't full you can usually group jump a little bit.  Lance doesn't mind as long as long as it doesn't affect the riders of other groups.

How many do they allow in a group?

Lance's formula is about 17 riders per mile.  So, 17x3.3= around 56.  This number also includes his instructors.  I believe he also allows for VIP pass holders.  Having the pass means you can ride in any one group for the day, even if it's sold out. Since there are 8 of us he probably fits that into his equation. To be honest I've never seen more than 50 people per group at a Keigwins day.  In the morning it's usually more full but in the afternoon I've never had a problem group jumping (except the Infineon day before an AFM weekend, Lance has very strict rules about that day).

Thanks, Greg.  That's way more than I thought.

Well, I'll be down in B+, come on down and play with me :).  I don't think I'm turning 2:15s at Thill yet.

You probably won't be able to in the morning but in the afternoon you shouldn't have any problem riding in two groups.  Just wait until the fourth session or later and try.  The grid marshals are pretty cool and they will let you know if you can run in a second group or not.

Fun day guys.
Yeah! Such a good time!!
Both days were perfect. Weather couldn't be better and any SSA member involved in an accident.
Thank you all for coming out there. I had great time again.
See you guys soon.

Well it sure was an amazing time, got down to 2:14's lap times and I think I can shave quite a few seconds still. On a less joyful note my engine blew up on the last session of Tuesday. Damn!! I loved that bike. Time for a new engine...I guess! Chip was there and even Dean. I truly enjoy the company of everyone that made it there from Reno, Rick, you sure are a fast devil and Dub, you picked up a lot of speed (and a R6) since I rode with you last time!! I better keep up this "track day" thing before I turn into a "slow-mo" grandpa ;D
