    So what would you have done? Ignored the jump starts?

    They officials are in a no win situation with whatever they decide. and should be supported with what is a thankless prick of a job. To have people with no idea of what was said at the riders briefing, or the sutuation at the time does nobody any favours.
    unfortunately you must have misunderstood my post

    i was merely commenting on the situation, not describing any individual or group

    that was my next post, which was a totally biased opinion venting frustration in a light hearted manner, based entirely on the observations of those who were able to attend and inform me. these conclusions were arrived at using soley the information that was at hand, and as is usual can change as more details become available

    this reliance on a third party was only due to unfortunately being unable to be there in person

    i can only assume from your post that you also had frustration to vent, for reasons i won't even begin to try and imagine

    i also understand that you are wholly entitled to your opinion, which (without all the relevant information) you didn't realise was exactly what you have accused me of.....

    .....because in fact i do have some fuggin' idea what is involved, have volunteered in the past, had volunteered again this weekend, and was only prevented from being there due to injury.

    i can assure you that i will again be volunteering when i am required in future

    A bad crash from Jamie Galway leaving him with apparently broken neck back femur hip and head injurys is what cancelled the second race, thought are with him! The first race start should possibly have been a restart, everyone saw the jump start, not saying who i saw jump first but they put everyone else off and they may have accidently jumped but didnt make any time. Hard situation but there was def a jump start

    The race was called because of the injured rider still on the track 30 minutes after the race had been red flagged
    It looked like the officials were taping the starts???

    6-13 `Stopping and Restarting a Race`
    Road Race Events
    Should it be necessary to stop a race due to an accident or if climatic or other conditions
    make it hazardous to continue, a red flag will be displayed by the steward, or his deputy,
    at the finish line. A minimum of 3 (three) more red flags are to be displayed
    simultaneously around the circuit, one of which shall be the last flag point before the
    finish line. In addition, all flag points not displaying red flags are to wave yellow flags.
    Upon sighting the red flag riders are to cease racing immediately and, after passing the
    finish line red flag complete 1 (one) further lap at touring pace before returning to the pit
    lane, or the safest point on the track at the discretion of the steward (this point to be
    announced at riders briefing), grid where they will stop and await further instructions.
    The decision to stop a race for whatever the reason can only come from the Steward or in
    his/her absence the Clerk of the Course. For climatic reasons the race can only be stopped
    once. The conditions under which the race will be restarted are as follows: the number of
    laps referred to in A and B is the number of laps effected before the lap in which the race
    is stopped.
    A. If two laps or less are completed:
    a. The original start shall be declared null and void.
    All riders taking part in the original start shall be allowed to restart either on the
    original machine or on another machine provided it has been approved as fit to
    race by the machine examiners. The restarted race shall be for the full race
    distance and the original grid positions will be used. The place of any motorcycle
    unable to take part in the restart shall be left vacant.
    b. If it is not possible to restart the race, no points will be awarded towards the
    championships.
    c. In all cases where a restart takes place, this will be 30 minutes at the latest after
    the initial race has been stopped.
    B. If three or more laps but less than two thirds of the race distance have taken place.
    a. The race shall be considered to be more than one part. The race positions at the
    end of the lap preceding the stopping of the race. In all cases where a restart takes
    place, this will be 30 minutes at the latest after the previous part has stopped.
    b. The distance of the restarted race will be that required make up the initial full race
    distance.
    c. The grid for the restart will be in the order of the machines at the end of the
    preceding part.
    d. Only those riders who have accomplished at least 65% of the laps realised by the
    first rider of the preceding part will be authorised to restart. Machines may be
    repaired or replaced.
    e. Half points will be awarded to each part. If it is impossible to restart the race, half
    points only will be awarded towards the championship.
    C. If two thirds of the race distance is completed:
    a. This shall be declared a full race. The finishing order shall be at the end of the lap
    preceding the stopping of the race.
    b. Full championship points will be awarded.
    ALL OTHER EVENTS
    Once a race has been started it may not be stopped unless the Steward of the meeting
    considers it dangerous to continue. The Steward of the meeting shall stop the race by
    exhibiting the red flag. The Steward of the meeting shall be the only official authorised to
    display on his/her own responsibility a red flag during the course of the race. The Steward
    may, however, delegate the authority to use the Red and Black Flags to a competent
    official. On a circuit where there is radio communication at the various signaling points,
    the Red Flag may be used where such a point is in full radio or telephone communication
    with the Steward of the meeting or his/her appointed delegate.
    Should a re-run take place, only those competitors who started in the original start will be
    allowed to compete. Any rider that has retired from or is excluded from a race which is
    ordered to be re-run shall be ineligible to take part in the re-run.
    Should race conditions deteriorate through a cause other than an accident and it is unsafe
    for the race to continue for the full number of laps or time and it is unlikely that a re-run
    would be practicable, the finish flag will be shown to all competitors.
    If the race leader at the time of stopping has completed more than fifty per cent (50%) of
    the total number of laps or time, the race shall be declared finished
    and the places as at the last completed lap prior to the stopping of the race will be declared
    as the final result.

    So many guys appeared to jump the start in Race 1 that it could well have been re-started. But Like Choppa says, it started with 1 and then a whole lot of others followed. What are you supposed to do as an official in those circumstances?

    Heard so many different stories about Jamie over the remainder of the afternoon... I didn't see the incident, was it a highside? I just hope the kid is doing okay and heals well. And best wishes to his family in their time of need.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
