The rules are the rules

So by the way, does anybody know why that race was red flagged?

If it's the race I'm thinking of, the debris flag was out on T1, the lights came on to show debris, riders mis-read it and slowed down, so the race was flagged. Over 60% complete, race was declared.

Oh yeah, I should have remembered that. I used to race the 749 in it.

Shoulda seen the Nuda kicking arse!

Fuck yeah, that thing looked like it had a turbo charger on it... Totally, awesome tho...

HD laptimes are easy to get quicker, just ride on the yellow pit lines, they say you can't and there is penaltys at riders breifing, but just miss breifing and your all go............as Tri Series runs.......video evidence of cheating dont mean jack shit as well

Roll call at rider's briefing ?

No attend, no race ?

[MarcusWyatt]

Was that a couple of hundred metres before you snuck past me to steal a place just short of the finish line?? If so - hahahahahaha

Nah, the race after that...

Geez, dude. In the 2nd F3 race I crashed on turn 5 on lap 2. Remember all the dust!!! My left leg is still freaken sore from that...

On the day I was fine, but on Sunday morning I felt very second hand...lol...

At PMCC meetings, you bring your helmet to briefing and they put a sticker on it. Proof that you were there, but not necessarily that you listened.

Yeah, I saw Peter Woodford go over the brow then there was a huge cloud of dust. Thought it was him.

You didn't have such a great day in F3. R1 you had bailed and take the escape road instead of hitting someone and lost heaps of places. R2 you dumped it in the kitty litter.

Someone infract whoever this 'mentaltrousers' cunt is, for taking the thread off topic.

It's no superduke, but cool I suppose, since it's a large capacity hoons bike.

Spot quiz at end of briefing then ? LOL

Enforcing that would have cost Stroud at least one championship

Betcha it would have only happened once though......................................and everyone else would put attending the race brief much higher on their priority list.

[Grumph]

Maybe. I applaud the rules being enforced for track rule infringements of course, but I doubt bikes will start being checked properly in motorcycling. The cost is prohibitive, and who the fuck would want the job of checking things anyway? However, if ALL the rules aren't enforced, should anyone obey any rules? Who picks and chooses which ones too?

It doesn't really matter to me. Anyone who openly says that rule bending is going on, is shut down the way I have been with the cry that I can't prove it, so it gets ignored and put in the too hard basket.

The protest/appeal fees are a bit hard to justify I think, but I wouldn't go that route if someone was cheating in a race I was in so it's moot again.

Dunno, I'm all over the show on this issue. No clear thoughts one way or the other, probably because I'm not racing right now.

Some years back we pulled down the entire 250 prod field after the last points race of the season at Levels. Very amusing...

We had supplied by Suzuki, a std head, barrel, piston and head & base gaskets for comparison purposes.

From memory 3 running without air cleaner elements, a couple of shaved heads, one ported motor as i've quoted earlier - and one of the ones without an air cleaner had a dead flat battery when the charging system was tested. It was gently pointed out to him that was probably costing him a couple of HP - but he was out anyway with no air cleaner...
I believe the first 3 in 600 prod have been pulled down in the past too.
It can be done - but probably should be earlier in the season, even if this cuts down on the number coming South....

I reckon it should be done at a critical point in the season. If anyone is going to cheat it's in the latter half of the season when things are tight and every single point counts.
