Sweet.

Hey, check it out, there were a whole three bikes at the endurance race whose best laps were slower than mine!

:laugh:

In the absence of transponders, how does that lap timing system actually work?

By the biggest bribes.........

No, seriously, by a guy with a few computers/videos/race number callers etc.
Each bike is triggered as it crosses the line, and their race number is inputed. A video is used to confirm numbers if there is a large group of you. It is as accurate as you could be with a stopwatch. Unless everyone wants to pay an extra $70 per bike for a transponder that is....... (but I doubt it).....

The only probs we had were people going out in the wrong class of practice - and then not showing up in their class results, or race numbers on the sides of the bikes that were too small/bad to read. MNZ is very clear about numbers and colours and sizes, riders just have to read the rules, so spotters can read their numbers.

I think it worked very well. The only prob we had is not having a photocopier in the sign on shed to take copies. We were supposed to be supplied 1 through the track management. Oh well................ teething probs.......

Hmmph. I see my complaint about being overtaken under a yellow was ignored.

Who did you complain to ?? Is news to me. Chris was dying to get the black flag out for someone to do a ride through......

Cheers Scrivy... There will be no more speculation about who did the fastest lap in the race between me and Fish(co -rider).
