Won't work. Too much variance in rider skills.
I'd like to see liter bikes only allowed at the expert level and 600's only allowed in the upper intermediate, after reaching a minimum lap time specific to ultralight class (300) or lightweight class (650 twin).
I ran that concept by one of the managers of an org in the midwest and he laughed. He said he would lose 75% of his business. The track day crowd is too full of total newbies on 600's and literbikes.
But I can dream of the day we can keep the slow riders off the fast bikes until they get good enough. Slow riders on fast bikes is the number one frustration with track days.
I know a couple of orgs in the states made rules in the right direction - If you get passed in a corner by a slower bike, you are not allowed to re-pass on the following straight. I like that rule and wish more orgs would use it.
