In my experience of trackdays I've seen this kind of thing with a certain organiser, but not with others. Maybe coincidence?

BUT... the first time I went with FE, there was a racer boy allowed out in the final novice session (he'd been in the fast group all day). He made a close pass on a real novice and spooked him into grabbing the brake - result was the novice guy crashed.
The second time I went to a FE day showed, in my opinion, a similar disregard for the group distribution. I was put down to the novice group on sign-in because of overbooking, and when I showed my acu licence and asked if it was a concern to them I was told "don't worry, it won't make your penis any smaller." Make of that what you will!

Nothing even came close to that sort of behavior on days with either no limits nor hottrax.

Maybe there should be an obligation enforced by the insurance that all ACU holders are only permitted in the fast group on a commercial track day? I know that won't SOLVE anything, but surely it's the right direction?
