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

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
