I dont think we should go out too hard to appease minority groups like this. Slow bikes just have to deal.
It WAS super frustrating but to be honest, if a big bike is passed around the outside on a corner by a little bike, then they should let them go past...they shouldnt blast off down the straight only to be caught up again ina couple more corners... Its more common sense than anything else.
I think having flags and more 'systems' and groups will only detract from the fun aspect of the day.

Just a couple of already mentioned things:
I agree that scrutineering was a bit OTT! Thanks heaps to the guy who did it and taped up my bike though (sorry - don't know which KBer you are)! Cheers mate. But isn't it usually just checking if you're bike's got a warrant and the rest is up to the responsibility of the rider?
I agree that the novice and slow groups seemed a bit too similar to me until Frosty changed the rules for the slow group. Perhaps just have the 'allowed to pass' rule from the start and that would solve that one. Although it would allow everyone much more track time if the two groups were combined. The other 2 trackdays that I've been to just had a 'slow/novice' group that begginers (or little bikes) went into.
Otherwise - all good! Awesome job Frosty!

Well...if I had a bit more confidence i would have passed through the esses but it was my first TD. Manfield should have a bit more room though...

You did good.
But remember ppl it was not a race day. You are out to enjoy the track and improve your riding skills. So going around bikes and being stuck behind bikes is part of developing these skills. I should have jumped up to the next level and had a run with them. I am sure I would have had my butt kicked but I would have learnt a lot more about what the bike will and will not do. So next time I just might give it a go. I also think ppl should choose the group they go in. Once out and around they will decided to stay or move up. The only thing is you have to wait till the next round before you move up. It would be easy to double your track time by changing every round.
It's cool Frosty. You did what you had to do. Most of our roads are like that. Fun to play on and a safe environment to do it.
OK, so who's next?
That's cool,but you have the choice to pootle if you're on a thou,what the prob was is people who pootle till they get to the straight where it's the only real place for newbs/novices to pass,then blast off into the distance only to slow right down again at turn 1.....fine if yer in the advanced groups,but who's gonna be the bad guy (guyett) if you stuff it up the inside in the novice groups cause it's the only place to pass?At least if everyone is on similar sized bikes it would reduce this frustrating problem.....

I was thinking of combining the novice and slow groups then making them under and over 500cc.....
