Vic Motorcycle Club committee meetings?

[Drew]

From here it certainly looks so....

Anyone who was there, will know that was a piss take. It was for the benefit of Monique should she be so inclined to come read this shit.

We get on, as does she and Stevie from what I can tell. There are no hard feelings from anyone. There is no problem.

We can turn it into a shit fight if want, for the entertainment of those viewing this thread and not posting. But it'll not change the way things sit.

Stevie was having a bad day from the get go of the race. Tard took the word of a confused racer and tried to grid up on spot 9, had he read the bloody timing sheet himself he'd have seen that the empty spot at no.7 was where he was meant to be. All good, he rolled back and started from row three or four.

The officials seem to think he jumped the start, to me it looked like bike no.161 that jumped. The same bike who's spot Stevie had tried to steal. But, they reckon there's video and it's a bit fucken academic since he only did one lap and his gear lever peg came off. He got way off the racing line going into splash and had his arm up in the air and was very busy making sure no one was coming up behind him.

He then rode round splash and the next right, and pulled off into the slip road. That's where I felt he went wrong. He had no choice but to be on the racing line at turn 4 by staying on track.

The post race crossing of the straight was a minor infraction, by comparison.

GOOD LUCK with the graduated licence and let me know where and when you want the template I have on file sent,Apparently it is not required and would make it too hard for new entrants,Ironic really that the system we currently use IE NOTHING,Helps people leave the sport in a tragic manner.

Billy, I'll be in contact. Rather than flushing out the idea via social media.
But
I don't think/believe the current system is to blame for the resent tragic occurrences. I do believe the clubs have applied controlled logic to entry of new riders.
But it might well be beneficial to set due processes via MOMS or MNZ, for clarity and consistency in application. This would remove the potential for "but I'm allowed at this club"...
Personally I just wish that new riders would recognise that racing is different from trackdays/road riding and that out riding a small bike is far better than large bike outriding you..
And the reality around the fact that in NZ you are unlikely to get enough track time to become a superstar..

Without turning it into a shitfight,If he didnt start from his allocated grid position,It is deemed as a jump start anyway,No need for a video.

would be a good idea... Then you would know not to smoke in the pits too......
Somethings else your rider should have passed onto you??

I know the rule already.

[jellywrestler]

I know the rule already.

are you allowed to smoke on the slip road?

[Drew]

are you allowed to smoke on the slip road?

Not sure, but I've had a smoke sitting on the tyre wall at Ruapuna after the Ducati fucked out one time.

[ellipsis]

...as you should, if circumstance dictates...

[jellywrestler]

Not sure, but I've had a smoke sitting on the tyre wall at Ruapuna after the Ducati fucked out one time.

there was a team that had smokes taped underneath their outfit and when it flipped at t1 manfeild asked the marshalls to retrive them...
i can remember spike went out in one race with a six pack of lemonade, pulled up, they had a couple and finished the race. rear engined aircooled from memory yamaha, use to warp the head on a full race.
after this they brought in the minimum race length you must do to get points

[Billy]

Yip,

10 laps or 30Ks whichever was the shorter distance,See if you can find it in the rulebook now,GOOD LUCK cause it is yet another rule that has mysteriously either been changed and does not mean what was intended OR removed without any consultation with the commissioner?????????
