What exactly is middle of the pack?

[roadracer162]

What would these lap times be? Middle or back of the pack

VIR: 1:45's
Summit: 1:25's
Jennings: 1:27

I've considered myself middle of the pack, but this post may change that 

Depends on what bike you are on and what classes your run.

I love it when all y'all try to define a subjective phrase.

In fact, let's have the "what exactly is yellow?" discussion again.

On the summit times a 1:25 on a SV in the AM classes would be about a top 5 possition in the EX classes on a SV it would be about a top 10/ 15 or around there.

What about on a 600 in Amateur classes

I've run a 1:21.8 but avg. about 1:22.3 at Summit and 1:39.8~1:40.5 at VIR on a ZX6R (636) and I am not in the top 5 in the NW races. Usually I am ~5-10th. Tail end of the lead pack. If I preregistered alot earlier it might be different. If you can run a 1:19~1:20's at Summit and 1:36~1:37's at VIR you should be up at the front of the AM class. Unless someone like Robby Wilkey is around like last yr. 

Just my HO. Hope that helps..

So would a 1:25 at Summit be middle of the pack, on a 600cc bike. Competing in middleweight and/or heavyweight amateur classes?

Yeah that would be about right. IMHO
