Racing safety issues

[Sully60]

Fast does not mean experienced, all the experienced guys I've watched tend to use lap traffic, and do well to predict the next move of slower guys. So your point here is kinda bullshit.

I have to disagree to some extent there Drew. Although it applies less at national level, when there's a mix of ability and bike speeds things can get unpredicatble rather quickly. Ever been passed by an early braker on a faster bike that pulls back on to your line? You don't get half a lap to see that coming and having to slow you bike on someone elses time ain't the most fun experience.

His diction/gramma certainly implies he's not as thick as you come across.

I have to agree to the fullest extent there Drew!

Sure have, but I've also had the door slammed in my face by one of the most experienced/talanted riders in F3, and had to take equaly evasive measures noit to pile straight into his back wheel.

Just saying that generalisations are a mistake when talking about racing incidents.

as it says nxt to your picture need i say anymore about you. fast, exp whateva the point is that raceing would be safer if the whole group of riders could stay on the same lap or when being laped can hold a line not ahve 3 goes at a couner leaving the passing guy commiting to somthing that can result badly. this is only a few that do this most slower guys are good and that makes passing and racing safe. drew you sound like you are one of these guys wobbling around since you ahve taken great offence sry that the truth hurts. there needs to be a time percentage from 1st to last like at nationals. even the 110% at nationals isnt rite. rnd 1 of nats has showen this were laped riders were caught up b4 half race point an resulted in guys getting run off the track therefore wrecked there race an championship. its something that has cost many top riders race wins or worst D.N.F.s. the blue flag also needs to be used v.m.c.c. seem to be only ones that have realised this.

Indeed, but back to the incident that spawned this topic. At their riders briefing the Vic Club went to great lengths to emphasize the danger of re-joining a race and/or trying to get back to the pits. This seemed to work OK I don't recall seeing (or hearing of) any such incidents during the entire winter series (that doesn't mean it didn't happen of course).

Maybe it's because I am a comparative newbie, but I don't think that riders (or organizers of some meetings) take the riders briefing seriously enough. All riders should know what the safety rules are but they should be spelled out LOUD and CLEAR at the riders briefing.

vic club have got it sorted an its a credit to them. but they have lernt from bad experence

There arnt many sectors that dont need a bad experience to lern.

drew you sound like you are one of these guys wobbling around since you ahve taken great offence sry that the truth hurts.

That's me alright, slow as hell with no clue what way the next corner goes.

Now Drew I know thats not true.......................I personally have seen you studying corners.....
.from over the wrong side rumble strip
.from sliding through the corner
.from ground level
.and even trying to taste the gravel in the kitty litter to make sure its suitable for its intended purpose


Sorry couldn't resist

Ya gonna bring the RF to Paeroa mate?

And what were our finish positions after my excursion over the bumps bro?

Gixxer 1100 in post classics bro. So watch for me wobbling my way round the corners gettin in every bodys way, I'll exploit the fact that I can still race the streets, when I'm told I dont have enough experience. (Provided they are doing pre '89 of course).

[Tony.OK]

I'm sorry but I have no recollection of how that finished..........are you sure I was there?

Shit hot mate............you'll be coming to Frenchy's pyjama party on Sat in the pits then?

[White trash]

your the dumbest racer i know mabyes thats explains y you cant keep the bike up right for more than 2 races. have to give you one thing tho your the fasest man in the pits

Dumbest racer? Is that why you packed up went home last AMCC series when the "no bodys" and the 600s gave you a hiding?

Lol. You don't know me. In fact, you've never so much as said hi. As for keeping bikes upright, my partners scraped you off the track into the back of a meat wagon a couple of times now.

You sure have a big chip on your shoulder for someone who's not done a lot recently either J. That knock on the head a couple of years back must have done more damage than I thought, at least I can type a legible (wanna dictionary) sentence.

By the way, I thought J'Lo was a bitch with a big, fat black arse? You're not black......

Get back to me when you've got game. Booouuuuuuy.

[wbks]

Oh no he di'int!

is that better english for ya???

1st to last like at nationals. even the 110% at nationals isnt rite. rnd 1 of nats has showen this were laped riders were caught

So what do you propose oh offensive one? Exclude riders "wobbling around" like myself and half the field would be gone. If exceptionally talented demi-god riders like yourself are so concerned about safety then feel free to start your own series. I guarantee there would be a handful of bikes (much less than the already pitiful number of bikes currently in the Nationals) and you'd be paying ten times the entry fees.


It appears that your school never applied a 110% rule and guys like you probably held back the gifted and talented students.
