I guess the run logs remove all doubt?
Yea, when you make it to Bonneville ask them to let you skip all the silly rookie stuff and start at 175 since you run faster than that on the pavement with the ECTA.... see how far that gets you... as I remember for several years they made the ECTA bike riders run double rookie passes... ask Todd and Deb.
It is a safety rule... no one should get a pass on a safety rule... otherwise the racing organization loses its integrity.... next guy can just say well it was OK for him, why not for me
My replies where only to clarify the comments about the 194 being his first run. I have made no comments on the part about the rookie treatment or meetings..
ONLY about the sequence of his runs (verified by the run logs)..
So NOW, don't jump my sh!t..LOL
I for one fully expect to be TREATED as a ROOKIE when I get there. I look forward to the Rookie meetings and touring the courses and hearing from all the Salty veterans.. I also expect to make all the required License Runs, 150, 175, 200 etc... I also plan to make certain that I am comfortable before I go fast..(bad things can happen when you "think" you know what you are doing before you "know" you know what you are doing...
The Rookie Procedures are there TO HELP US..
I for one appreciate the process and to this day go to the rookie meetings at the begining of each SEASON at both ECTA and LTA even as I am not required to.. it helps refresh after the long winter off season.
Enough rant..
