Just adding some more info to clarify things and answer some questions...This was from a CCS event at Blackhawk Farms in May 2017. This is not all from the same race. I did not get passed by like 20+ guys. These are snippets from 3 races from that day (MW SB, MW GP, and HW SB), so it's roughly the same several people that are going by each time. These are all experts and they're very fast guys! They also start in the 1st wave, whereas I'm an amateur and started in the 2nd wave. Most of us amateurs got lapped by these guys, I think all but the top 2-3. I was never last in any of these...I know I'm slow, but I'm not THAT slow! lol This was my 2nd time ever at this track, and I had pretty much no practice before, and on top of that I crashed in my first race of the day, just before these 3, so I was a bit shaken up still. Not trying to make excuses, I know I'm FAR from fast, but my reason for making this video was to show the difference between the top experts in this organization relative to a mediocre amateur who is usually mid-level A group at track days at most tracks. It's also a way for me to use this as a reminder of how much more there is to improve! :)

Here is a video from a friend's bike looking backwards of a more typical race where no lapping was done since the track is much larger. Unfortunately I did not have my GoPro on for this one, but I'm in it for a big chunk (#77 on the black/gold ZX6R).
