what about the safety issue of having riders turn up for a " ride a race bike for a day " mixed in with others that have been racing for 6 or 7 meetings......its not like starting a race series and growing as a rider with each race meeting....to jump in for one race meeting would be imho potentially dangerous.!......its not a track day out there and the two are a WORLDS apart.
You only have to ask the DD racers now the difference between track and race days....its a massive and very steep learning curve. I can highlight many instances over the 2 race meets already where inexperince has caused " offs " can you imagine if at every meeting we had potential 1 off novice's turning up...........................
The idea of two racers sharing a bike for the season for the DD and the SoT is a valid and prooven idea..ie chris wood.
Not being a killjoy but it is a serious issue out there in a race.
