    Communal showers? I wish I'd gone...
    Ctas froze for me a few times too, it always seemed to be the camera at Turn 2? (I think, I've never been there)

    Yup, CTAS were great.
    Saw a few naughty things that happened on the track by people who were supposed to be there to keep the riders safe too!!!!!
    People running across a live track. Not a racer, nor did he have Hi-Viz, so not a cameraman, or Vollinteer.
    People sitting at the outside of turn two trying to fix a bike after a bin... We all know if one went in, it is more likely a second one will too...

    Bikes and sidecars appeared to be let out of pit lane too early! One ended up exactly where he would have been if he started on the grid!!!

    My live video ended up about a minute behind, so I just watched the numbers for the last lap of the Supers. Grant was watching the two Hondas having a bit of a dust up though....
    All in all great coverage of a meeting that could have been done so much better!

    Don't get me started on Muscle cars wobbling around at a bike meeting that is running behind time!
    Muscle cars look better stationary in any case.

    definitely froze up a lot for me at first - almost unwatchable, I figured it was my internet speed, I plugged computer straight into modem with ethernet cable rather than go over wireless and it performed much better, definitely watchable

    haha I saw the dude running across the live track during sidecar race. sure he was steward or some official.

    definitly some early exits from pitlane! wasn't much of a penalty

    The biggest problem that puts everything under pressure is that bikes should be on track by 8am. Starting at 10-11am puts you 3 hours behind before you start.

    Everyone is doing the best they possibly can, AMCC officials have really changed their attitudes and the atmosphere was much better than it ever has been. Graham put in a huge amount of work and to see it go down like it did I could see he was disappointed. I have been chatting with the flag marshalls and they were standing out in that weather all day and none of them are winging so I guess there is something to learn from that.

    It looks to me like there needs to be a race director appointed that controls the whole event

    Yeah Adam/Stu and Lovell/Denny started from pit lane in sidecar race 2 on Sunday, Lovell/Denny were already about second or third by the hairpin, I thought all bikes had to clear the pit exit before bikes in pitlane were let go?

    You thought right.....
    If it is Manfeild at some meetings the penalty is huge.. like Turn 3
    It is incentive to make the dummy grid on time......

    I watched on CTAS and couldn't see them on the grid, then hey presto, Aaron arrived at turn 2 in third!! Surprised no one protested.......

    Now that is fucken dangerous!! Imagine T-boning someone exiting turn 1!!
    The marshall at that point needed better radio contact with race control.
    That situation should never happen again......

    I think it needs to go a bit further than that, they need to be calling all the shots saying right marshalls need to be briefed and on point by 7am, riders need to be at briefing at 7.30 etc etc. The whole event needs a supervisor that controls everything

    One race on Saturday somebody had to start from pit lane (can't remember who it was or which race but I do remember he's well respected and been around the racing scene for quite a while).

    The race started, the marshal in pit lane held the rider then with a huge flourish he waved GO. The rider lazily pulled his visor down, kicked it into first and ambled off do pit exit. Looked hilarious.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
