I always find the problem is with the novice session, it needs splitting so those that have some track experience can go ride and practice with others of the same skill-level while those that are still green can concentrate on remembering to keep pedaling and getting used to riding track. This can be done in a hare and hound type scenario without problem.
If this happened then the novices wouldn't feel the need to progress themselves up to intermediates too soon just to get some qualitative riding/racing. People should really be spending a season in the novices before going to the intermediates and at least a half season in the inters before hitting Monday night race training.
