This is not race practice - it is a track day. If some muggins finds himself in the Red group and is a fair bit slower - then the fast guys owe it to all concerned - including themselves - to pass safely. There are no sheep stations at stake here.

Disagree, your in a fast group and need to be fast if not predictable.

Slow bikes are not the issue it is the unpredictability when we pass at speed.....
No, in a fast group you need to be predictable, if you are not fast.

Otherwise your second point makes no sense :)

Faster blokes are faster because they have better skills - they need to use those skills to avoid skittling slower bikes.

In the end, if some muggins who is still travelling quick, gets chopped up by an A-grader in a track day - and comes off - then the only person to blame is the A-grader who didn't give the slower bloke enough room. It's just a track-day. Not race practice.

Race practice ? All bets are off, and the slow get killed and eaten. Easy. :lol:
