ACU training course

Hi,

For me it's tomorrow... and I am a little bit scared because I have no idea of what I am going to do there.

I never raced before but I went to a few trackdays in France, so I have a little idea of the main security rules (at least in France).

Do I have to read the ACU Handbook ? What are the most important thing I have to know ?

Advice from riders who were already there would be welcome...

Thanks all.

Tonio.

Take it easy mate, it's a walk in the park.

All you have to do is listen to what the guy talks about, ask a few questions and then do the exam. It's a multi-choice exam and the main concern is that you don't get any questions on major safety issues, flags etc, wrong.

No-one failed while I was there. I finished the paper in around 3 minutes.

Tonio, the hardest part of the test is remembering to bring your pen!

All you have to do is turn up early to get the best buscuits

take no notice of me lin, nobody else does.

Ahhh... I remember the clipons... you should make sure they're "weld-ons" if you plan to sleep the night before the first race
