They had that at one stage, didn't they?? I remember doing something like that once... just can't remember if it was a race weekend or not.
Also, novicee should also be encouraged to go the drags at least once to get a good idea of what it's like to launch a bike properly. It's common sense, I think... I did it before my 1st race meeting and if it didn't make me any faster it definitely made it safer
Might be thinking of the Race your Mates.Originally Posted by Mr.Ed
It was at EC... It might have been some sort of race school I think
James Spences Race series 2008 ish
Ahhhh... that's it then!! Good times
When I did go-karting when I was younger your first few meetings you had to start from the back of the grid no matter where you qualified or finished. May be extreme, but other categories do different stuff.
Novice racers should be doing at least 1 meeting (or more) in a lower powered environment say 400 / 300s etc that is no 600 or 1000 ... when I started racing as a D grader (when Moses was a boy and Amaroo and Oran were the Sydney tracks) you were ... from memory restricted to 250 ... 1000cc was right out - and 750 was normal max cc (just after 1100cc were banned) - normal start was a push start (Amaroo was uphill start and steeper at the pointy bit - 4 stroke guys would try and qualify on the 3 row or lower for an easier push)
I wouldn't be surprised to see 1000cc racing disappearing within the next 5 years as insurance concerns etc push speeds down
