My first ever race I drew front row in a SOT race, luckily with the Derby Phoenix process if you were uncomfortable with it you could pick again and i ended up on last row which suited me fine.

My concern up above was around egos and some of the newer riders not maybe realising just how fast some folks are off the grid.

I would love to be front row (and I have been in a genuine race ) but with my starts these days I would not be that comfortable with it.

Having said that, if it is a qualifying race then there is no real need for silly starts as it's all about best lap time and that is never going to be first lap from a standing start. The fast boys will make it to the front anyway so it should not be an issue.
