NESBA will be at Road America on Thursday April 21

[G 97]

The benefits are:

Save another day of travel, off work, and hotel.

Not restricted to expert only.  It's the individual riders skill level, not whether they have a white or yellow plate.  

Riders limited to 60 in Advance group which runs much like an open race practice day.
This will be a three session 20 minute format.  Typically you can expect to receive seven 20 minute sessions.  This translates into plenty of open track time.  More than enough time to get your bike setup.  

This is the day prior to the F-USA event.  Not only can you map out your pit stop for the weekend YOU CAN KEEP IT.  The paddock will be completely empty Thursday morning.  In effect you can have first choice.  

F-USA series venders and full race support will be on site.  
  
Get focused on what you want to accomplish VS. Spending resources (tires, gas, and energy) based solely on a continuous open track.  Use your time constructively and with goals in mind and I am confident that you will find that 20 minute sessions provide you with way more track time than you actually need.

I have heard a lot about NESBA but as a racer don't find what I hear appealing. First, there is no way that a serious racer can get a good setup running 20 minute sessions, especially at RA. By the time you get the bike up to speed, tires and suspension warmed up, and turning good lap times the session is over, let alone if you pull into the pits to turn a knob etc. Also, street riders abound. I know they are not in every session but their numbers limit the amount of free space for racers on the same strip of tarmac or at least to accomodate them more sessions are necessary and so the sessions become shorter. Lastly, and mostly...control riders. I won't really spill my guts on this notion, but lets just say I strongly disagree with the whole notion. Oh and the membership fee thing is a burden also. In my opinion at this time it just sounds way too restrictive for a serious racer to get serious ride/setup time. For a street rider that needs some hand holding and slow/new racers this may be a decent program.

LMSports-  You have a very good point, I don't think I could really get the feedback I want in a 20 minute session.  You come in make 1 change....and then wait for 40 minutes?  I really hope that TrackAddix will let novices in so I can get some much needed track time.  So how much is the NESBA day????  A Dyno???  Suspension help???   Just wondering.

NESBA is 165

 The paddock will be completely empty Thursday morning.  

So you are going to make the people that are there for the TrackAddix day, and staying for the weekend LEAVE???  That kind of sucks?  So if doing both (hopefully) I'll have to leave and then come back and set up again?

Don't forget the membership fee. That will be extra also.

[pnther15]

165...is that the member or nonmember price?

Guys, you have to understand, the NESBA track days are just what they are--track days! If you are looking for some track time for setting up a race bike, I dunno if they are what your looking for. Having done over a dozen track days with them I can say your just there to ride hard and have fun ;) As for control riders, if you are in the advanced group, there are none ;D Goto NESBA.COM for all the info you need.

As for the price, you get what you pay for-1st class :)

I am just going to say one thing really so..........I think it shows extremely poor taste to come into another organizations posting and rip them. Regardless of what they may say in it post in your own topic. Not only that but have the courtesy to let your product speak for itself instead of ripping on someone elses to make yours look good. LM you should have kept your post in your own topic with Trackaddix. NESBA yours was not the most positive either.
However I went to a NESBA event at Road Atlanta in November and I felt 20 minute sessions were plenty to get my bike dialed in and to start turning good lap times.

The 165 is the track day. The membership is
additional. NESBA is a great org.
For me this is not one track org
against another. I have also found at every
track via track day I've attended 20 min is
to short to do any real test and tune.
My decision would be based on session time.
I liked the idea of getting more then 20 min
