Washed out Rnd4

[Frenchy]

Some pillack was doing wheelies down the straights - hey err - scrub sessions are needed for BOTH tyres aren't they?


Wheelies are neither big nor clever

Spoken like a true ridder that can't wheelle!!

Sure were at one stage 2 riders next to each other, left me wondering on what could happen if that went tits up, as it was with the races been cut to 4 laps I feel that guys going out and doing wheelies and increasing the chances of the crash crew having to come out and dust up a broken bike or 2 therefore having the possabilty of having our 4 lap races dropped to 3 laps.
Im not agasint wheelies but there is a place and time for them and scrub sessions arent the time for them

Would you like a tissue?

[CHOPPA]

atleast you got something for ya money bro!

[Tony.OK]

Ohhh so it was you!!, you are just a hooligan sir
If I hadn't been trying to do one as good as you I'd be fuming at the sheer stupidity of it all too

[WarrenW]

I freely admit I cannot pull wheelies at all. I don't even want too !! I am out there to race and the scrub session is NOT a showoff, I can pull wheelies session. I am sure the club will clamp down on this as it is an unsafe pratice and not to be necouraged when others out there are being responsible and using the session for what it's intended purpose is and not just a testosterone rush to the little brains some riders obviously have. Take that!

I would like to ask a question , . . . were all the bikes out in the scrub session really scrubbing tyres or testing suspender setup ??

If they were all out there doing these things i find it good that almost the whole fuckin field was keen enough about there improvement mods done since last round to have to test them.
Extra track time is not gained by doing a scrub session, do a test day and thrash the wallet, so if you dont have a factor to test stay in the pits and leave the scrub time to the people that do genuinly need to perform testing and scrubbing of tyres.

We all ride in different styles so we all have to ride the way we are comfy and secure. If for EG; we are used to passing out of corners with the front wheel in the air then we have to set the bike up for that method

Any club clampdown should be aimed at the riders that go out in scrub for a bit of extra track time and just to play, thats dangerous, and a waste of time.
Pulling a wheelie is not really dangerous and as it must have ben in front of you (as you saw it happen it cant be behind) it was not a problem to you. There was a crash last year beween 2 riders on Concourse and that was dangerous and stupid , the price was paid by both riders but it was a control issue that caused it and not the wheelie itself.

I was out there cause i had never riden the new track and 4 laps of practice /qualifying just dont cut it!

[Ivan]

Im with Paul on this one,


SCRUB is for SCRUB not track time.

All of us had 4 laps in qualifying to learn the circuit,

Bring back the old VMCC days I say

No scrub session at all

You mest member the 04/05 season Paul

[Tony.OK]

Well this has gotten very serious hasn't it?
Ok then some different thoughts............a wheelie on a straight is considered dangerous and people going out on slicks on an obviuosly damp track trying to learn lines at pace isn't? Or people out there that obviously can't see with fogged up visors?
These are club events that are supposed to be fun aren't they?
I'm surprised that there isn't more bitching about the lack of laps because of the new motard rules.

Can't we all just enjoy the day out? And won't some one please think about the children

Roll on Round 5

[Frenchy]

there is just no pleasing some people!! i went out to see what the new part of the track looked like as i'd never been on it before ever!! and like chopper said 4 laps don't really cut it. if there was a test day on the friday i would of happily done that and never scrubbed in. didn't realize there were some many people worried about getting hurt! HELLOW YOUR RACING MOTOR BIKES!! not knittig and for the record i've fallen off lots more racing then doing wheeles and i've done a lot more shows then race meets!!

[Ivan]

fair enough going out to learn track i guess but are you learning the circuit all that well with the front whell in the air?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Don't need the front wheel on the ground to learn a striaght. Not everyone needs practice riding in a straight line!

[svr]

1. Wheelies are extremely cool, and very motorbikish (?). Something very sad about car races on the cool-down lap - the winner can't do anything.

2. Wheelies are f..ing dangerous on the racing line. Slipstreaming is a (dangerous) part of the racing game and the worst thing a rider can do is slow down (e.g. to do a wheelie coming out of a corner) anytime on the racing line.

So, time and a place I guess.

I don't give a rats arse about wheelies during scrub in - if you know what you're doing go ahead. Just don't take me out or my attitude would be somewhat different.

Frenchy and Driftn are two blokes I trust to be around when their front is in the air.

Just my opinion.
