It is obvious when observing the track who is smooth and consistent, and who is not.

Or, do you mean to ask what the penalty is?

Ah - it's more of a "race to the corner" rule. As it's explained, the intent is to have people maintain a consistent and smooth lap rather than parking it in the corners and binning it in the straights.

ahh ok... gotcha...

Yes. Yes it does.

parking it on the corners is for people who don't have theability to be smooth around the track or can't make their bike turn... in which case they are in over their head.

Last track day i rode in, my instructor thought my zx10 was a 600 as easily as i was throwing it around
