NZSBK: Round IV from Hampton Downs, 16-17 March. Feedback?

[sinfull]

Think the rest got DQ for going into garages instead of staying on the dummy grid, from what i heard on Ctas, my PC was having issues by then so may be wrong

You think you have problems, my pc just showed the hell echo of the same reply 3 times

, Good on the organisers for enforcing something.

Were they told this when exiting the track or were they expected to have the rule book on them ?
Knowing the rules is one thing but coming in under a red and being expected to know that particular one there and then when you've prob never had to before ?(ok so most have but hey)
(don't expect an answer here Steve)

Heres an answer for you anyway,Whether you wanted one or not,When you renew your licence theres a wee box that needs to be ticked,That wee box is where the applicant agrees to read and abide by the rules in the M.O.M.S,It would seem that a large number of licence holders choose to run the gauntlet and not bother to do so,Some got caught out on the weekend and some others got away with some stuff they shouldn't have.

Short answer is,If your not prepared to read the rulebook,Then you just get to suck it up when caught out,Simple really.

that is a weak arguement, I didn't know murder was illegal etc......

Does anyone know the outcome of the 600 race 2 with Jayden touching the yellow pit line? I thought he was DQ'ed nek minit he was re included. Whats the go there? I thought they were pretty clear at riders briefing about that?

[FLIPTOP]

I think it needs to go a bit further than that, they need to be calling all the shots saying right marshalls need to be briefed and on point by 7am, riders need to be at briefing at 7.30 etc etc. The whole event needs a supervisor that controls everything

Track Gates do not get opened until 7am so Sorry impossible

[roogazza]

So the meeting was a bit of a fuck up ! Who's the organiser/in charge ?
The Ctas is a welcome addition and the 600 race I saw kept me interested with a good sized field.
I miss Mylaps, are they not taking part anymore or have I missed something.

Yip i agree, 600s were great aye Gaz, - might get me one of those :-)
Best comment i have seen thus far is that it would have been great to have bikes on track at the time that was stated, this would have reduced a lot of pressure on everyone concerned toward the end of the day.

Keep in mind the bad luck for all concerned with the drought deciding to end itself on our big hampton day out, so i still give the club a thumbs up on pushing on as much as possible.

Billy - Are you telling me my numbers up ? :-)

Hey, saw you too on the CTAS, you looked pretty and cleared off giving them a lesson.

In the event of a red flag when the race is to be fully restarted are bikes allowed to be refueled? I could check the rule book but this could help others too

Track Gates do not get opened until 7am so Sorry impossible

Could the marshals not be briefed at the apartments then head straight to the marshal points when the track is opened?

I was only using times as an example btw

I organised the series but the C.O.C has control of the meeting and I have NO jurisdiction on the day,There was a set format that was supposed to be run at EVERY round,So far only one club has bothered to run to that schedule,Time for a change me thinks.

Was there a bit of drama llama around Jaden Hassan and the pit entry?

Sorry mate,Not having a stab at you,But its not my job to explain to all and sundry the entire rulebook,As I stated earlier,Its part of the contract all licence holders enter into when applying for a licence,Those that haven't should return their licence forthwith as it is null and void due to their inability to fulfill their part of that agreement,Best get reading

No OLD MAN,Your numbers not up,Theyre just not in the right place,You should get one of those green 6 hundies I reckon

I'm sure you're onto it. Maybe the C.O.C. needs a hand ?
(and a debrief). Sometimes you're just up against it and everything fails.
I recall the best organised meet I went to in about 1973 BC at Levin where all classes on the day got 5 races ! as well as the usual practice, crashes etc. Fine weather of course.
Rd 5 will have the benefit of hindsight and run like clockwork.
