And you can't just walk up and buy a novice license either , you have to go thru their approved "schools" to get it

II only do one in Ohio and its where I work lol I don't like that other place but I will probably be running a lwt team next year because it is a good place to learn smaller grids less "competitiveness" good place to run a endurance team with my kid and fasttrax is a pretty well run org it always has been it just sucks that its 80% at nelson but they are tryin to add tracks . I'm sure they will go back to beaver and they have been talking with mid Ohio so there may be a fasttrax Mid Ohio round ..... Possibly

I am guessing if the folks that drove down from Quebec had asked on sign up about a Canadian expert equivalent they likely could have gotten it. Reality is CCS/WERA are the largest orgs on this end of the US. The thing is the rule is easy to find and clearly worded and was followed. I don't agree with all of the NESBA policies but do appreciate clear and consistent rules. Based on the time I was at mid-o I bet you do also. Had you read the rulebook you might have renewed your or at least been aware of that option to get in "a" :rtfm:

Everyone knows Mid Ohio did lack some structure at one time , during the transition from another org running it and Mid Ohio doing it themselves . No org out there started perfect nor is any of them perfect now . We are still working hard as a group to make it a great experience and have more happy customers then unhappy ones and that's just the norm I believe
The Canadian SBK guy did get it and was fast as hell but was the year of exploding dunlop rears and it didn't end well for him , tire blew on the back straight was a really really bad scene . Drove down by himself bike had to be pulled outta the swamp with a back hoe . We all pitched in and loaded his trailer with what pieces were left to load ..... I know he lived but was in really bad shape . Truck and trailer was gone by the next round

Yup, but their approved schools don't teach you anything about how to ride. They just go over flags and procedures. At least that's my understanding.
Why am I still in here, I don't really care...

Think it was 05 at the nelson national T , may have been 04 but we were running fasttrax endurance in 05 and did the wera round at nelson , ran the wera nationals in 06 ... had to be 05 cause it was the nite race

A race school isn't there to teach people how to ride ..... if you can't ride well enough to corner low and run a red power band a race school isn't for you

Exactly, and that's my point (if I have one at all). You can do the school, get an amateur/novice license, and not have a clue about how to ride on a racetrack.stalemate27;222958 wrote: A race school isn't there to teach people how to ride ..... if you can't ride well enough to corner low and run a red power band a race school isn't for you

There are people at track days that don't have a clue on how to ride at all lol hence why this mess got started in the first place

Sorry I did not mean it as a criticism. I was there at the first one after the transistion (I think if not real early) weather SUCKED and organization could be better but it was real obvious folks cared and were trying to do it right. Thus the comment on rules mattering as I would be surprised if that is not the case now nor have I heard anything to give that impression. So to be clear I meant it "since mid-o runs well and follows their rules I bet you can understand why others are doing the same with their rules"
And HG2 I have the Novice license :argh: 10lb Maple penalty!

Welcome to the off season!
No one here wants a lesson, only entertainment. No longer amusing and one got lost in their own babble trying to make a case. The confusion lead to them adding credibility to oppositions case. Funny.
