It would be totally understandable to grid them with experts in the MRA if the MRA didn't have novice classes. But we do 8)

My main issue is allowing someone who has never raced before in their life, to grid up in some very aggressive classes. Personally, I think income can be found not by giving a novice an extra class, but doing something to get experts to return to the grid, something I feel is currently being overlooked.
