Awesome!... Great job!... So you know what is next then, right?
BG, perhaps you could provide a little background information for members that are not very familiar with the world of racing so they can realize the significance of your achievement.
hint hint.

It probably varies a bit with different track day organizations, but here's the gist of it from Apex Trackdays:
Advanced Group | A
This group is typically made up of licensed road racers and fast and experienced trackday riders. If you question whether you are fast enough for Group A, sign up for Group B and we will move you up to A after the first session or two if we feel you are ready.
Intermediate | B
This group is typically made up of individuals wishing to improve upon their riding skills at a more comfortable pace. Your first session will start with some Lead/Follow siting laps led by Apex instructors to help you become familiar with the track.
Beginner | C
This group is typically made up of individuals new to the trackday experience, and people wishing to improve upon their riding skills at a more comfortable pace. Your first session will start with some Lead/Follow siting laps led by Apex instructors to help you become familiar with the track.
As you progress, it's generally considered "safer" in the faster groups, as far as the danger of other riders taking you out. The passing also becomes closer. -bg

Yeah, we'll see how we feel after I hit the ground for the first time... Not really too interested in doing that.
Seems to me that racing is all about accepting a higher level of risk. -bg

It ain't so bad... but not sure how that correlates.

And here I am thinking it's all about the hookers and blow. 
Congrats again, bg... Group "A" is a lot of fun, and being out there with faster, better riders riders will only make you faster and better yourself... Besides that, since safety is obviously a major concern of yours, it is much safer in "A" than it is in "B", IMHO.
