Very interesting to say the least.

It will be interesting to see how this and the normal amateur grids are.  Patiently waiting for details.  This may be what we needed to get those people that are on the fence, out for racing.

I like the idea of this class.

Not to sound negative but if trophies are given wouldn't that be more expense? I know one plaque doesn't seem like much but plagues accross all class' can be quite expensive especially if there is no participation. Maybe a VIP pass for the winner's next race. Heck I wish I got a VIP pass for each time I won.


After rereading an earlier post three class' doesn't seem too much. One can even take a LW bike and race all three class'.

The only problem with a Rookies class is the prevalence of trackdays these days.  You'll have some guys that have been doing them for years and have tons of track time with lap times comparable to experts vs a some guy whose first time on the track was during the race school at the beginning of his first race weekend.  This class doesn't change how things exist already.

If they possess the skill and are that fast maybe they can be bumped to the next level.
