For me, moving from beginner to intermediate wasn't about being called "slow," but rather the fact that I didn't want to ride in a small group of people and not be able to pass slower riders. That's the way STT did it when I did track days a few years ago. Only way you could pass in beginner was if the instructor deemed it ok to do so, and one whole group would pass another. I hated that and wanted to ride at my own pace so I moved up to intermediate. I definitely wasn't ready for advanced, but couldn't handle the way they did things in the beginner group.
All that being said, I'll go into the beginner class again after I buy a bike cause I haven't been on one in 3 years, but doubt I'll stay there long.
