A word of warning!

[nodrog:Me]

Fuck me!

I'm glad I race in an 'OPEN' class..... none of this shit....

Imagine if you ran mobil petrol in you 1537cc busa motor!!

[CHOPPA]

I'm sure you ARE Sloan - all I'm saying is lets keep reactions until we KNOW there actually IS a problem - the test done at Ruapuna was indicative only, thats why we sent the sample away, for a DEFINITIVE set of data to use in decision-making.

Deciding one way or the other without this would be simply bloody stupid and counter-productive, wouldnt it ?

The only effective way forward is an INFORMED one, I'm sure you agree !

But initial tests on the fuel have failed surely it's not in anyones best interest to run it and risk it? Hence the warning.

from the research we have done the indications are that it doesn't meet current mnz standards.

I thought it was a 1600??

Interesting... anecdotally when we fill either of our vehicles with Gull [cheapest] gas milage is crap..significatly..its an ethonal blend...works out cheaper to buy more expensive normal petrol.

So I would imagine its anti power to...you may gain a tiny bit of oxegen...but unless your engine is turn for the lower specific calories of ethanol..you more than likely lowering the output of your engine.

I was sure you were running 1800 by now Scrivy! on some evil fuel that you have to handle with rubber gloves whilst wearing a condom

[scrivy]

you have to handle with rubber gloves whilst wearing a condom

Double the protection!!

[Fast Eddie]

Double the protection!!

oh you're saying you want 2 shipping containers stacked at Wangas Cem Circuit 2013?

hehe nah sorry.. too soon

edit: I would like more tyres or sand trap on the wall I hit at hampers.. for my return at BSTTC 2013

Nah, I'm too hard for steel containers. I'm thinking more along the lines of razor wire, or steel spikes.... Gotta do it properly.....

The next sidecar meeting should be run like this...



think of the spectator enjoyment

I think that would depend on the situation, perhaps the oxygen effect may be negligible but the cooling effect could be significant. I'd think high ethanol fuel may be just the ticket in a hard-tuned air-cooled two stroke that is running on 'pump fuel' . The extra consumption would be negligible in most non-endurance racing...

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

EDIT: "unless your engine is turn for the lower specific calories of ethanol" oh, you mean tuned, right, yeah I guess I'm kind of talking about the 'tuned' or suitable part.

Lets all be CLEAR - the initial "test" indicated that the sample required further, in-depth testing - that is all.

Both the "A" and "B" samples have been sent to the Lab for this testing to be carried out - when these results are received, Chop will be advised of the results, and if any further action is required by MNZ it WILL happen, and all parties affected advised.

There is NO accusation of anything nefarious, this is a matter that requires attention to detail to AVOID that, so comment is pointless until we have the information we need to reach any decision - all that has happened is there has been an issue identified, and it will be dealt with

Test results have come back and yes I can confirm that Mobil 98 with the ethanol blend is illegal to use in competition.

Now what?

I bet you paid in cash, and wore a hoodie & dark sunnies making that purchase too.........

[Tony.OK]

Has that affected your points Chop?

(oh and your bike went too cheap! i got the end time wrong and missed the b*stard)

Rule 10.16.5 from the GCR's
The results of the analysis must as soon as practicable be notified to the club at whose meeting the testing was carried out, the rider and the MNZ Board for appropriate penalty(s) to be imposed should irregularities be confirmed.
