New Zealand Superbikes and Grand Prix

Stroud crashes for first time since 2006 ! (live timing showed he'd done 3 laps) race red flagged on lap 5 - Big discussion about whether Stroud could re-start or not.. He got to re-start and rode like a demon to take the win - Most excellent racing !
Final results may be disputed (actually make that will be disputed for years to come - at least on Kiwibiker )
What a race though !!! Wish I could have been there, but Livetiming to the rescue !!!

Just noticed in my excitement I miss-spelled CONTROVERSY in the title !! - But I'm sure I will be excused - I was bloody great racing - So did Stroudy set a new lap record in the first part of race 2 ?

Is there anything to dispute? The rules are there for everyone.

Try reading rule 6.13.B.c in GCR's. It is quite clear and yes, the rules are there for everyone.

Stroud hasn't been awared points for the restart.

Since he shouldn't have restarted at all, how is that relevant?

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

Just got back from a spin round the Pacific Ocean......................never again!

Rule 6.13.B.c states 65% has to be completed, how many did he do before the 'rare occurrence'?
65% of 15 is 5.25 ............. I fink!

He did 3 of 5 before red flag, thats 60% so not enough.

Mylaps shows him DQ for restart.

He had completed 3 of the 5 laps before the red flag. That is 60%

How many had the leader done at the red flag?

How many had the leader done at the red flag?

5 ten charachters

It is relevant because as he was ineligible to start in the re start he could be protested by a competitor or excluded by the stewards after the race.

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

Rule 6.13.B.c states

Only those riders who have accomplished at least 65% of the laps realised by the first rider of the preceding part will be authorised to restart.

If the leader had completed 5 laps and the red flag came out, Andrew would have needed to complete 3 or 3.25 to be precise to be eligible to restart.

Also like to add that all the racing is available to watch after the event here:

$2 a race or the whole event for $20. Bloody bargain if you ask me! Grant has done a superb job of the video and audio and it is well worth the money.
