Sidecar Racing

[scrivy]

Yes, a fairly decent MNZ official didn't mince words about that one with me.
I had a moment where the only logical thought process was to think I had missed something fairly obvious, but none of it seemed to add up in my head.
It was all sorted out in a matter of minutes.

Even if it had off broken off someones rig, are you a superhuman??
I mean, do you have radar imaging eyes, or xray eyes, or what? Can you determine wall thickness of metal with a simple touch?
Can you ok welds without testing gear? Can you determine if someones shotpeening has worked well?

Fuck dude, if you can do all that, why the fuck aren't you paid millions a day????

You have just shown by your use of words, how fukin potentually dangerous the scene is with welding man by non ticketed people, care full big boy

Im a WOF inspector. Im supposed to be able to do all that & foresee the future.
Na bro, all credit to them for the way it was handled.
Do you let a class keep going out for the rest of the weekend knowing one machine has a possibly critical component missing just to see what happens?

I worked at a petrochemical plant as an operator and a permit issuer - I know the hazards/ramifications.....
I also remember once when the entire plant had to be shut down for many many weeks (at a loss of nearly a million a day) due to a piece of pipe on the ammonia plant that had a wall thickness that should have been about an inch (due to running 5000psi ammonia through it), but instead was only a few mm due to wear and tear. If that fucker had of gone off, a 10 km radius around the plant would have been wiped out. It was only detected by someone inadvertently testing the wall thickness with xray.....

So how again does visual inspection detect that? How safe are we really with our scrutineering? No one picked up my about to shear brake torque arm..... no one can detect if a brake line will burst....

Scrutineers do their best at the time, to limit dumb fuckers from not following the rulebook. After the inspection, the riders are on their own.... and so too are the other track users......

I agree to making them stop. But to abuse the scrutineer????????

No abuse was received bro.

Oh, someone told me you were chewed out?

Did they mean that they went down on you???

No, me & a chum had a direct conversation, I visited a very contrite Drew, end of tale.

I got the bit of 7/8 pipe around 300mm long back at the end of the day. I'll show it to ya this weekend. It would have stood out to you if it was mounted instead of sitting on the deck.

I feel shitty about it of course, but I've seen spanners and sockets on the track before. This is no different at all.

I saw it. It was a true piece of art All chur bro.

[nodrog:Me]

Feel the love.



there needs to be more punch ups at the track.

[Aeromo]

Was watching on ctas over the weekend. Some close racing between Adam, Chris and Pete, great to watch. Pete pulled a few good lap times, I think I saw a 1.13. Not use to seeing him go that fast. Great effort of Aaron beating his lap record by 2sec although dropping back to 1.12s by the end of the race. After seeing him crash at Paeroa from what I herd was failed brakes, and at chch from what I herd was failed brakes, I hope he has sorted his brakes this season

Not as much as I do.

I think they were different issues, that shared a similar result.

think it was a throttle issue at paeroa, it didn't shut off enough....
