I think the points are correct first time from Taupo, Tony had started another lap after Sloans red flag. Dont know why or how someone can fiddle with the points after the fact, someone who thinks there really important no doubt.

the log clearly says crash occurred, then 1 minute later red flag, there are more than just two bikes in the race and unless the whole field has crossed the line it must back a lap.

It doesn't say that in the rules;

Stopping & Starting a Race:
Should it be necessary to stop a race due to an accident or climatic or other
conditions that make it hazardous to continue, a red flag will be d
isplayed at
the finish line under the direction of the Steward or Clerk of the Course, once
instructed, all flag points are to display waved red flags. Upon sighting the red
flag riders are to cease racing immediately and at touring pace return to the pit
lane or the safest point on the track at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course
(this point to be announced at riders briefing), where they will stop and await
further instructions.
The decision to stop a race for whatever the reason can only come f
rom the
St
eward or Clerk of the Course.
For climatic reasons the race can only be
stopped once. When a race has been stopped immediately any result or
decision is based on the race order of the previous lap then 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
e
ither
on the original machine or on another machine
p
rovided 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
g
rid positions will be used.
The place of any motorcycle unab
le 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 res
tart takes place, this will be within
30 minutes after
the initial race has
been stopped.

id positions if a restart takes place.
In
all cases where a restart takes
place, this will be
as soon as possible
after the previous part has
been
stopped.
b.
The distance of the restarted race will be that required make up
the initial full race distan
ce.
c
.
Only those riders who have accomplished at least 65% of the laps

end of the lap preceding
the stopping of the race.
b.

except right here and simple common sense says that you can't award points for two different laps, clutching at straws?

Doesn't state how many have to have completed the 'previous lap', a lap can be completed by just one rider....or does that lap not count!?
Ta
Last lap completed refers to the field. Not just one bike.
Forum whore
it does not say completed, it says the lap preceding, so I can see the argument above,
anyway, this is all just discussion about taupo, as that result has not been appealed, its only Hampton Downs that has been ,The race positions at the end of the lap preceding the stopping of the race
will be the grid positions if a restart takes place.
Ta
No, Taupo is the result under appeal.
Ta
Also. "The race positions at the end of the lap preceding ".
Be fucken hard to work that out if the whole field didn't first have to complete the lap.

That's surprising, every NZ bike meeting I have been to no one could understand a single word from the p.a.

On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
