I guess at the end of the day these days are really aimed at being practice days for racers, so those of us who are beginners would probably feel a little unsafe or intimidated.

Friends of mine who race have been to a couple of these days has thought it was awesome but wouldn't recommend a rider like me to attend.

I had a ride at one as i picked up a bike from there, there all pretty fast
and i spent my time making sure i was well out the way as there just on you so much faster then if you were in a group around your own pace. stick to motto tt ones if your int/med more for the fast guys redline ones, nothing against them thou there was heaps of track time ,mint for the faster guys.

That will be why it's limited to 40 riders !!!
He is aiming at the folk who don't mind mixing it !!!
Safety issues ? hahaha in racing ? Really ?

Darrin will still be running the 3 group trackdays as well, but these open days are aimed at those who want race pace all day !!!
