Title: Viper Recreation Classes.
Post by: Billet YZ on February 14, 2013, 06:47:06 pm: (http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx249/BilletYZ/cid_59B8E0FB-5AC7-4302-B3C5-9A97FF18A3F4.jpg)

Viper has introduced 2 recreation classes for 2013,
there will now be a senior and a junior rec. class. We have introduced these classes to cater for riders that are not keen to jump straight into racing but would enjoy being a part Viper and also to be able to ride at all of the Viper rounds and different tracks.

These classes are strictly non-competitive and will see you have a minimum of 3 ride sessions for the day, you will need to become a member of Viper for the year which is $70. Once you are a Viper member the standard entry fee is $60 per round and a rec. licence is also required per round, you can purchase a 1 year rec. licence thru the club which is $100 or you can purchase a 1 day rec. licence on the day for $25.

Please note these rec. licence fees are set by and go straight to M.V. and not the club. If you intend to do all 6 rounds it pays you to purchase a yearly rec. licence.

The juniors also need to become Viper members for the year which is $30, the entry fee and rec. licence fee is as above. Juniors will also get a minimum of 3 ride sessions for the day.

The rec. classes will not be using the starting gate, all riders will be set off by means of a flag as these are a riding class not a racing class. We believe these classes will be well received and in the long run will entice the new members to have a shot at racing once they are confident enough.

Regards Peter.

Post by: NR555 on February 20, 2013, 10:48:50 pm: Great idea guys. Newcomers can find jumping into a race scenario pretty intimidating, and a lot of the old guys just want a well prepped track to chug around on.

This will give those guys a chance to ride the same track that's been raced on all day and get a good feel for how the event runs without stressing about facing a gate full of nutters ;D

Great way to ease people into it and maybe coax a few into racing at later rounds.

I meet a few guys that are into restoring but don’t race. I try to encourage them to join the clubs and give it a go but some are reluctant to actually race as they don’t feel up to the pressures so this should be a good introduction for them.
It takes some time though for news of this sort of thing to reach people that aren’t normally in the loop.
