What exactly is this? I understand some tracks have it and some don't.

Is this practice session times for small bikes and larger seperate, or something else?

Only time rule we have is the 2 minutes we give at the starting line to get a bike going.

I believe on a lot of tracks that just have "open practice", the last 20 minutes of each hour is for mini's only...

Many AZ tracks run 20 minute sessions....depending on numbers,

1. Big bike nov/int/pro
2. Big bike beginners
3. mini's
4. quads, if it's a track that has quads

Less numbers, big bikes are combined. Lesser bikes, free for all....

Must be that a SX main event can't last longer than 20 minutes. LOL!

Just like Huck said, on my reguliar practice days when i dont have a full crew we will have the last 20 rule, where the last 20 minutes of the hour will be for the 50 and 65 riders. It wont cure all the problems but it's a start. The rest of the time the little ones can ride on our pitbike track.

"Kids rule the last 20" Or first. Or whatever. Easy-to-remember practice rule that tries to keep youngsters off the track when big bikes are on and vice-versa.
