Around here at least, group isn't based on lap times, it's based on skill. Those newbs on literbikes should be in novice group.

If you're skilled, you can ride a 300 in a higher group and not have that problem.

A very fast rider (former owner of my track bike) was talking to me about this once. There's a lovely young woman who rides with our track day org. He said "She's not fast, but she's totally consistent, which is why we're happy to have her in the fast group. That's what it takes... it's not about speed."
