A dab should suffice. Not required in novice but there's not going to be a person there that says don't do it. Safety is never a bad thing!
It's something we got going last year to get new people to the track. A fair amount of people showed up and had a good time. Sometimes just the fact of not knowing anyone that will be at a track day is enough for some people to put it off. There will be a fair amount of people there all with varying levels of experience. Some of us guys that spend a fair amount of time at the track will be there too. Come out, it'll be a great way to meet some of us and some of us that you wouldn't normally see on the spirited street rides.
BTW I spent a session chasing a Buell 1125 last weekend on my new SV. We were close enough in pace that I never got around him because by the time we got close, the front straight came up again and I would loose bike lengths.
