And what is the problem with that man? If you do not ask you do not get, and obviously I did not get. ho hum

[Drew]

Didn't see you yesterday Shaun.

Hope all had a great day

[Drew]

I'm told that both competitors in each class enjoyed themselves.

Yes, despite the low'dish numbers, weather was great (all be it very cold track temps). The day when very well. Some great battles throughout the different classes. All riders were well behaved and followed safety instructions very well. And we even had a number of PB's...

This round saw a number of new riders making the step from trackdays to racing, they all seemed to have big smiles.

Thanks to all the vollies and also everyone that supported the scholarship raffle.

Not all riders. We got sent home when Stevie left the slip road without a green flag.

Was the wrong call, told Monique she was fucken wrong. We should have been sent home for him not getting off the track at his earliest possible chance.

Do not play by the rules, do not play, simple really and good on the club for acting so strongly about it, examples need setting to help train the future junior riders by setting examples and using the rule book. Bummer for those sent home though obviously.

I think there is still a lot more scope for mentoring.
I'd really encourage super bike teams (read senior riders) to, in the future take on the junior rider and help with his/her development. But there is examples of this already starting so all good.

The more involved in mentoring new/junior riders the better the future will be.


Interesting lunchtime session (new and junior riders) with a focus on preparation pre meeting (mental and physical). I trust that most took away something from this.

Future sessions. Overviews on Tyres, suspension and MNZ. But if anyone wants other stuff then let the club know.

Great riders briefing, laid down clear safety requirements (and clearly stated the clubs stance and expectations, on a number of key topics: and outcomes if these were breached).

This is normally the time of day you're making the most sense, have you been drinking today already?

The punishment was correct, the reason was wrong. Particularly since I'm told that at riders briefing, the only mention of the slip road, was that it wasn't being used.

Fucken hang anyone not doing what they're meant to I reckon. But if there's anything less than consistency about it, I'll raise bloody hell.

I Like it when you talk dirty and will just ignore your dribble posts from now on

As said in email mate, I am very willing to help with what I can

Wrong... In fact so bloody wrong it's not funny.
there was extra emphasis put on the slip road use (if people found themselves in there) and the due process to be followed. And result if said process was not followed - instant removal of anyone in breech of process.

It's of great concern having riders entering the track perpendicular to racing line, thus considerable discussions around the management of this safety issue has resulted in the process that had been applied.
I was there at the briefing Drew. Thus not talking secondhand.

Consistency, yip that is was we can all hope for.
Any ambiguity needs to resolved at MOMS and club supplementary rules. This of course will take time, but the best that can be done currently is that key rules need to be explained clearly and ramifications outlined.

Conflicting info in a situation like this is normal, think I'll come along to riders briefing from now on and eliminate the Chinese whispers effect.

I think there would be advantage in the briefing was written, and everyone went through it together with someone from the club reading it and and explaining stuff.
