It might help to research the tracks that you are willing to drive to and check their schedule. The schedule will show which track clubs are going there and when.
Asking which track clubs to ride with is too general a question.

The double post was a MISTAKE sorry for F'in your day up....:) Thanx for those of you that had constructive replies to my post. Does anyone run with the other groups ???

I am considering doing some dates with NESBA next year to ride at some other tracks that I cannot with TPM because of schedule differences or tracks that TPM does not offer.
This year I did the most days I have since I began three seasons ago. I had a great time and I am looking forward to going more often next season.
The dates at Barber with STT are attractive, but the Mother's Day weekend dates are an issue.

You can say the same for me, though it was like 6 or 7 years ago LOL!

Ok, spill it guys. Why was NESBA so bad? I have only ridden with TPM.
thanks

I've ridden with NESBA a few times. No real problems with the org. Just felt weird not knowing anyone...

I'll be going back to Barber next season. Dont have much of a choice do I??

[NYCSTRIPES]

Well Ralph, that was my main reason for considering them in the first place. I was keeping an eye out for the possible dates to go to Barber or Road Atlanta. Getting access to alternate tracks/dates that accomodate my schedule.
Thanks for the input

For me personally, the club was a bit arrogant, conceited so to speak. If you're not in the "click" you're just a # and a $ sign. You're not allowed to pass the control riders unless they wave you by(talk about killing your drive, not sure if this is true for all groups.) This was 3 years ago so I don't know if things have changed. From the first 5-10 minutes of the riders meeting with TPM I knew I found a "home" so to speak.

[NYCSTRIPES]

Fair enough, that would have definitely cramped my style a little, thanks for the reply. If I attend a day or two next season I will be asking about that stuff before hand.

I started with Nesbo in the A group, I rode in it all morning on my F2, easily passing most of the field. After lunch I get black flagged. They don't like my FIM/AMA approved Kevlar suit. They tell me I can ride in the I group. I ask the club director if they think I am going to ride any slower in the I group than I would in the A group. He said that is the rule. I asked if I can pass without a wave, he said no. OK, dosen't make sense to me, but it's not my playground. 1st session out in I group, I come up next to a control rider on the back straight, it's the director. I pull RIGHT next to him and elbow him, give him a look. He double takes, waves me by and I rode the rest of the day not giving a shit about the wave by. Either they were told to let me go, or none of them could keep up to stop me as I was on a mission :lickit:
