wow TSE is going to be there doing suspension set up... will be nice to have a suspension vendor again
totally a newb question having never run gratten or with STT. Do you guys run 20 minute Novice, Intermediate, Advanced sessions starting on the :00, :20, and :40 of each hour? if not, whats your schedules normally look like? I'll be in novice as I've never seen the track before and the bike is fairly new to me.
Yes 20 min rotation but Intermediate is on track first, then advanced and then novice. Novice goes straight to classroom at 9:00am
Whats the classroom for? just general rules of the track? and do we miss the first session because of it?
Nope, you will be out on the track at 9:40am for your first session. First meeting will be to break into groups with group leaders to work on lines, body position, technique, and set up The rest of the meetings will give you objectives to work on and pointers for the track, which are pretty good.
