I'm racing again at NHIS on 7/23-24 then might be coaching on 8-10 at NHIS since I have been spending lots of time there. Not sure yet though. I still have to find out of I can get off of work that day.

NHIS is a tricky track and easy to get yourself in trouble on if youre not careful. I would be more than happy to work with you and would be able to tell pretty easily if you're ready to step it up. Basically, we'd go out and run a session so that I could evaluate your performance and consistency then if I thought it was time for you to move up I go and get a second coach and he does the same thing with you for a second session. It takes two coaches to sign off on moving someone to the Blue group.

Even if I don't coach that day, I can still ride in the red group if you specifically ask for me to work with you. You would just need to ask Linda. I will be on a grey primered 600RR #973 though there is a minute chance it'll be painted by then. 5 minutes of conversation, a pen , a piece of paper and two sessions and I bet you'll be able to shave several seconds off your time easy.

I have heard all different things about that track so if I get the hang of it and get into a groove and am passing a lot of people I will prolly ask to be evaluated. Like I was saying at pocono I was running prety good but got into a funk later in the day. I can be my own worst enemy and play headgames with myself LOL but if I am not too fatigued and stay focused then I can ride prety good
