    I will be constructing a guideline in discussion with Scrivy shortly & will post it up here & also print off copies.
    Is each team required to have its own fireman?

    Not at all. Senior professional firemen in full level two gear supported by volunteer firemen will be present, packing some serious fire retardant.
    Fortunately these people are part of the general race meeting volunteer team & also members of the NZ Sidecar Racing Association.
    A fireman will approach the bike that is about to be refuelled & position himself appropriately for best effect in the event of a flare up, but well out of the way of the pit crew & refuelling activities.

    Glad they're ok, was there and it looked nasty seeing someone having to be cut out of the machine.

    Hope they both heal quick

    Is he turning into a fat cunt? I can recommend a good pie shop to help him along

    Is there a MNZ rule book for this as well? I looked but didn't find any.

    cheers
    Hi Johan,

    Unfortunately, there are no rules as such for endurance racing!
    There won't be a red flag situation, as we have a safety car and s/c signs, as well as ambulance signs that will be displayed from each marshall post, so slow laps such as Nascar/Indy cars will happen behind a safety car.
    Chris and I are working through the re-fuelling situation now, and will post up details soon. We will also have a detailed briefing for the endurance riders on the morning of the 27th, including how to operate behind the safety car etc.
    There are no limitations on fuel capacities etc.
    The safety of all riders/crews is most important to us, refuelling, ride through speed, airhorns in pit lane etc will all be explained in the morning briefing - along with a printed sheet of the details for you to peruse as well.

    This will be a great event, and the evening of the 27th will be even better!! I've gone $5000 over budget just on extra food and drinks to make this a social night not to be missed!!
    (So er...... what I was trying to say was, no ones allowed to bin it and ruin the day....)
    Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??
