Are you sandbagging on purpose?

7-4-24 The Ridge Motorsports Park. OPRT track day. B+ group getting bumped up to A group. Watch or skip to the end to see what the control rider told me. Like and subscribe for more

LOL. That's Timmy. He's cool. Congratulations on the bump to A, as you earned it. I think you will find OPRT control riders are fun people ;) - However, the pass at 3:57 is not in a safe spot. If I rider has to check up it isn't a safe pass, generally speaking. After going over the hill the ground drops out and you have reduced traction, then as you turn left and try to pass the other rider they are coming out towards you and have to check up. That move could have gotten both you you into a grass warming party. In A group you can get away with it, but it doesn't mean that it is a good idea and in B+ it isn't super great. You can pass on the exit of 4, or on the brakes going into 6, with much less danger. You have great drive up the hill in T9/T10. The rest of the passes look pretty clean, but be aware that passing someone when they are exiting a corner means that they are coming out towards you. It is best to either have the pass complete before the exit of the corner or pass on the inside of the exit so that they are going away from you, not having to check up because you are where they want to be. See you at the next OPRT day!
