| Re: New Racers and the Duct Tape X I wish there could be some leeway in between novice, am and expert. For example, Im thinking of bump to AM soon, but Im a little worried Im gonna be a rolling roadblock and someone could get hurt trying to get around me. BJ runs about 8-9 seconds a lap faster than me, let alone the SVs and other bikes, but Im regularly top 3 in Novice, am I doing anyone a favor staying in novice? I wish theyd let me practice with the Ams and experts for a session and see how I can manage and get some advice from those guys whether to bump or wait until I can drop a couple seconds.
Or if someones coming off a bad crash and lost some confidence, if they could bump DOWN a class or two to get back into the swing of things without an expert flying up their ass when they're already jumpy.
I guess this would be tough to regulate and manage, but maybe something could be done to try and avoid accidents like this in the future |
