What the flags mean, and a bit on bike prep, and some other bits that I can't remember.

did the course today and it went well. the exam was easy enough.
is a bit hard to fail as the only parts you need to remember is track conduct and what the flags are for.
Trackdays certainly gets you up to speed with that, just common sense really.

watch some videos of how the race start normally works and goes over what needs to be done to your bike also covering what you are likely to get stopped for, in scrutineering.

found the whole experience very helpful and reassuring of what needs to be done to start racing or get ready to start racing.

will sort out my EMRA membership next and sending off for ACU license.

then sorting out everything for the august 16th.

Wow, this is cool mate, had no idea you were going to be a racer. You'll have to give us a date if you go to Brands and I'll come watch!
