If the track has a lot of man made obstacles ( doubles big tabletops etc.) then you might want to stiffen the suspension up a little. I would say have fun, don't race through practice (look at lines and try to figure out the jumps or rythm sections) have fun, watch the 250 beginner class for overly aggressive non-talented types ( I'm not talented but not that aggressive),have fun, have fun, I would say start to the outside the first moto and let the over anxious ones take each other out and then start passing people, dicing with other riders is the most fun anyway. and I almost forgot to mention have fun! :aj:

You might want to race the 'enduro' class if they have one.
