[miper]

It's politically incorrect to call someone a Wanker nowadays Sloan, they're now referred to as 'an owner Operater'

Hell yes. I will take it for blast. You gotta be careful letting me have a test ride. I hang around for ages afterwards. Ask my wife.

What an afront. Retired? A question for ya, how can I be re anything when it's always been the same.....you know just tired

And on the subject of colin, he still as you know is the only rider in the history of motorcycle racing to "improve" every subsequent lap...OK then improve in this case means get a bigger number, and aside from that there aren't enough dead cows to make leathers for his current shape............

Could be there are more than 1 clive possibilities though......if only he knew

I think we were all warned at the briefing pretty clearly that if any stupid/dangerous maneuvers were done out on the track involving the safety of ourselves or others we would be penalized and fined $$$? Did any of these riders suffer a fine for their actions do you know spyda?

Whilst 'in the moment' we can make decisions while racing that may not be the correct ones to make, slowing on the front straight enough to let x5 riders past is simply stupid and not a snap decision made under duress. This especially considering the tragic loss of Mark (RIP) and the great lengths Skunk went to in the briefing to make certain we all knew the dangers of slow bikes on a track with racers at race pace. I personally think this would deserve a $$$ fine myself...this is the only way some people will learn.

Good post Marcus,Somehow I missed it earlier,

No nobody was penalised for the safety rules broken and neither have any since,Despite there being a number of serious breaches AND despite me issuing a directive to the clubs to start introducing consequences when the rules were breached,This was backed up by the stewards commissioner to the point he suggested I went to the officials training to reinforce it,Apparently its MNZs fault for not teaching riders enough before they get on a superbike!!!!! HELLO MNZ do not run meetings,The clubs do,All other clubs outside of the Vic club have an entry level/junior training scheme to teach the riders the correct ettiquette,I witnessed 2 riders during practice/Qualifying at round 4,Slow to a touring speed and complete the lap with other machines at full pace passing them,Neither had their arm up to indicate they had slowed and neither made any attempt to pull off the track,1 was in the Supersport session and the other was in Superbike,Both were slapped on the back of the hand with a wet bus ticket !!!!! I have done all I can to rectify the situation as roadrace commissioner,The only tool I have left is to stop issuing permits to the offenders,Its up to the competitors now to confront the club and ask the question,How many more deaths will it take before something is done about it.

[FROSTY:Me]

This is true, but at least i looked good doing it (& lasted one more lap than you..... ) Wasnt a good day for either really :-)

Its getting a bit rough though when you need to put sliders on the backside of ya leathers

As you said Billy - MNZ do not run the meetings clubs do. You are MNZ. Myself and the Steward of the day deal with the on the day events.
I know of only one rider that rode slowly for part of one lap in the Qualifying session. This was NOT dealt with with a 'wet bus ticket'. It was taken VERY seriously with the initial determination of sending the rider home. As is always the case we investigate the reasons, attitude, and background. You were not part of that. Don't assume and portray it like we're doing nothing.
Round 3 we had two incidents and had the bikes not broken the riders would not have been allowed to continue. Natural Justice.
There are punishments dealt out. Lets be very clear about that. We don't make a song and dance about it.

Two riders Skunk,Dion Marriot in Supersport no.71,David Cooper in Superbike,David Cooper slowed after he exited turn one and another rider had to take evasive action entering turn 3,He then proceeded to circulate at a touring pace AND without any indication IE: A raised hand,He knew it was dangerous and so did his pitcrew and agreed he should be sent home,Both riders were spoken to and NO action taken or consequences enforced,AGAIN,Talk is cheap,Lives are not.

Dave new he done wrong, and he will now look at flags more carefully. He certainly learned from being bent over up stairs and would have accepted being sent home, others would have thrown their toys in.

Andrew and Billy. The rest of us get to sling shit around in this forum, for nothing more than imortalising ourselves with written word (Christ knows nothing I say could be for anything else). You guys have unfortunately put yourselves in positions however, where doing that brings disrepute to the office or station you hold. Is this wise?

In other words, do it in private ya pair o' cunts!
