I normally don't respond to the whole group but thought others might
like the answer -

The nationals run with a 2 moto transfer. So minimum - each rider
gets 2 tries to make their mains. Should they have more than 2
gates of riders which is not likely in the age groups you noted then
they could run a semi round.

Friday is a pre-race. Double points. Smaller numbers but still
great experience especially for a new rider to give it a try on a
bigger scale.

Saturday & Sunday are the 2 national races. Same process though - 2
moto transfer to make your main.

There is a 20 minute practice on Friday - and 1 on Saturday only.
They are really meant to experience the track and gate. There is no
practice on Sunday- we are running the B schedule - so check out for
your times for each child - that is the ONLY time they will be on the
track prior to their races.

Hope that helps- the experience is awesome and you can't beat being
here in your own backyard.
