Frist Track Day Experience
So i decided to go ahead and do a track day. Signed up for Nashville, TN on Oct 4th. Was excited and got there Saturday night. Went though 4 sessions in the novice group and felt awesome. The bike ran perfect and after the first session i was getting the hang of it and nailed every turn. It started to rain a little thought why not ride on lap before i take off. Coming out of the back straight way about to turn left when another rider passes me from the inside and slows down. Rather than hitting his rear tire, I tried to avoid hitting him and tapped the brake. Big mistake the bike ended up going straight into grass and the next thing i knew i was laying on the ground. Walked away without a scratch but the bike wasnt so lucky. BUT i was signing for another track day.

Sorry about your bike. Glad you're ok. I thought it was universally accepted that in the novice/slow group, that there is NO passing on the inside. Seems to me the guy that passed you on the inside, causing you to crash, needed a swift kick in the backside & shoulda ponied up some bucks for your bike's damage.
As for trackdays... Glad you had a good time up til that point. Perhaps at some point, you can get to Road Atlanta or another track that offers a little more than Nashville.

the bolt that holds the frame slider to the frame is bent. I think i was going between 50-65 when i hit the grass/gravel.
