Thanking AMCC RND 3

[angelindisguise]

the start/finish guys did do a bit of a blunder with the white flag... they were having problems with the lap counter and wernt too sure what lap it was on. so sorry bout the dnf and to the other rider that lost a position.

apart from that, it was fantastic racing

I wish Brendan a speedy full recovery after is massive off.

For all of you who are enquiring - Brendon Holland, who crashed on Sunday, is recovering well. He has a fractured skull, eye socket, cheek bone, shoulder and hand. He is currently still in the neurological unit at Waikato hospital. The AMCC has been in daily contact and he knows all of our thoughts are with him.

Oh man, that's terrible.
Hope he doesn't have his own business which will suffer too much, let alone family.
Here's to a speedy recovery brutha.

Had an awesome day and thanks for an excellent event, well organised, prompt action on clean ups with minimal delays and we still got all three races in.

The best rule to follow is always race until the chequred flag.
The piss poor standard of bike numbering must make it damb near impossible to judge who's coming at ya if your on the start finish line. Its been debated over and over again re the concern of visability of numbers.

All very well IF you can see the chequerd flag..in my case I was on the outside and concentrating on beating Karl Morgan to the line followed by trying my hardest not to do a Craig Sherriffs into turn 1...didn't see any flag just thought it was the last due to seeing the white the lap before. Anyway, as I said all will be forgiven once I have a beer in my hand

All good mate.
Think its going to be an inherent problem with HD if your diving for the line turn one is always going to be a problem to get round without a drama its simply too close even now.
I've got 296 as my top speed according to my dash gizmo, your coving a lot of ground a second at that speed and sitting up and hitting the picks is challenging to say the least to make the first turn without dramas.

I know they have moved it back, it could go back further in my opinion, how about as far back as the pit entry?! make some impressive pics of bikes diving for the line cranked over at full chat!

ps your were flying mate well done. I'm going to have to invest in some track time and figure a quicker way round that upper body strength sapping track!

GWS Brendan.

Perhaps if MNZ didn't change our numbers randomly every year we'd invest in some large decent signwritten ones. Sent them an email about this and got the usual silent response.

Also I counted 3 other bikes using my MNZ allocated number last year....so what's the point?

Doesn't help that the NZPCRA use their own numbers for some unfathomable reason.

Doesnt really matter what number you run just make it big. I run whatever number I want haha it was important when there were people called lap scorers instead of transponders
