Manfeild slip road use

[quickbuck]

My comment was very serious...usually on warm up laps I'm thinking about how I'm going to start, waming my clutch, getting my race brain in place...I know where the flag points are why would I need to look at them. I guess its a bit like the safety speech when you board a plane...if you travel a lot its all much a blurr as you know the drill.

Like I say, I will look at the flag colours on the warm up lap now and if they are RED I will return to the dummy grid. Previously I only thought they were being waved so we could see where the points were...I knew where they were so pretty much ignored them. Not any more :-)

All fair points Biggles.
The only thing it wasn't actually a warm-up lap, but you could be excused for thinking it was another warm up lap.... as it transpires....

Another thing to remember is sometimes the Red/Yellow is help out on the warm up lap to indicate that the surface isn't as grippy on that corner as it was last time you were out there.... Pay ALOT of attention to that.
The give away is usually a large amount of cement dust or such substance there, and usually after a delay too... but just in case you went to sleep in the pit garage the flag is there as a final reminder of information.

cause in the first world superbikes championship final at manfeild, when Fred Merkel and Stephane Mertans were doing their warm up lap, one of them could crash and you need to know about it.
Waming-?? it's 20 after eleven on a wednesday night, that vision alone will give me nightmares Wiggles

probably Billy, late wed nite and the brain isn't working too well, I knew it was one of the Bimota riders.
My point to Wiggles is that things do happen on warm up laps, ask Graeme Crosby too, he left the pit lane at Manfeild once and got less than five meters before going over the handlebars.
ANY time you're on a race track the flags have significance...

You guys should have more respect and not give giggles shit.

Mate , ya wrong on sooo many points , I have been in the shit with ACU / MNZ since i smacked Erroll in 1991 and that means i am not new to the situation. Slippery slopes are fun and if i have always enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Have a lovely fathers day anyway you old bastard.

If it's the Erroll I'm thinking of, he probably fucking deserved it. What a fuckwit *that* guy was.......He looked like Bungle from that 80's TV show, Rainbow.

Not the dude with the jellybean RGV? I thought he was a funny cunt, but I might be remembering his name wrong.

Also, can anyone imagine Paul the cardboard cutout smacking someone? Be funny as hell I reckon!

Actually you're right, I'm thinking of Erroll's mate Kelly. HE was Bungle. Erroll wasn't so bad.

Bring back the biff!

Morris is just a name he thought up to make it look like Spyda didnt know what he was talking about.

You guys should have more respect and not give giggles shit.

Now thats a slightly better name for him.

Its not the Erroll you know unless you frequent MNZ.

Come and tell 30 odd years of Asian " smacking in the head " technique that. You never forget it matey. Plus i was an angry little arsehole then ..... ohh same old same old lol.

How do you hide tats on your hands and face, with clothes? I've never seen you wearing a burka.

Thats the dummist thing I think you've ever said. How would you know if she was wearing a burka?

Could have been the other marshal - and yes, we both have beards. When one is in and out of the flag post, on and off, all day, every race, it all tends to blur together in terms of 'which one did I do'...

I'nm sure its in the rule book that beards should be distributed amongst the marshal posts to stop this kind of confusion.
