    It translates in English as "A waste of fucking time"
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    top 6 I think superbike riders plus 2 wildcards the Italians got to go out and put in the fastest lap for 1000 bucks cash, It was abit of a waste of time really as the programe was allready behind.

    Abit like the Road race spec they had a feature race but ran out of time so didnt run it this should have been the same run at the end of the day if there was timeit slowed down the proceddings a shit load

    Give it another go coz now you know what to expect.Track and facilities.

    Also to all,cut the organisers a little slack afterall it is done over Xmas/boxing day.
    Delays on a street circuit...especially a tight track like the cemetery have to be expected as any crash is gonna stop the race.
    Treat it for what it is...a fucking good days (street) racing that attracts massive non-motorcycling crowds and is now a historic event as well.

    Constructive critisism is good tho and in that respect the superpole idea should be noted.

    I reckon they drop several classes and superbikes should have 3 races, superpole and a feature...

    The big delay I saw was the first major bin in the esses. The air fences were a good idea though. The lunch round seemed to go on for much longer than necessary as well.

    Yes, superpole should have been scrapped, considering the amount of time used up.

    For $30, to only get track entry, and nothing else, was a bit of a rip off. Refused to buy a program in principle, but found Shaun and got myself the T-Shirt I was after.

    Should have worn more sunscreen... couldn't they have organised a little less sunshine?

    So what was the actual reason for the big hold up? was it just crashes in the practices? I know our first practice was cut short because one of the guys rolled over in the s bends

    I shall write a polite letter to the organisers thanking them for their efforts and put in a few suggestions. OK?

    Whining worked wonders for the PMCC Summer Series. It's leaps and bounds better organised than it was 3 years ago.

    It pays to remember that the people who organise these events spend all year doing it, usually for no pay, nothing but whinging from the riders, and noise complaints from local residents. Most of the committees time for the events I have attended is spent jumping through hoops for the local authorities. It seems like a bloody thankless task and I'm buggered if I know why they do it.

    Its us riders that usually cause the delays...

    Like every other road race, it had crashs and delays. You made some good points in that list, but some others on the list I wouldnt expect. It was a great days racing, after not wanting to be out there after practice, the end of the day came waaay to soon. Ill be going back there.

    Depends whether or not I end up marshalling there... then you can blame me for taking a while to clear it

    Good to meet you too... you look more like a Gremlin than me... who knows who behaves more like one
