St George November

[Negrogrande]

Who's in?

I just early birded for Sunday in 600 & 600CS North circuit holds no appeal for me even for $180

[Marshy]

I'm in!! But the North circuit is a giggle! Well worth doing. I wouldn't want to do it all the time, but it's fun twice a year.

[Leezx10r]

Am in, going to pop my racing cherry. Saturday 100%,
But have a problem, sons second birthday on Sunday (why couldn't are lass keep her legs closed for 12 more hours!) and not sure how well it will go down missing his birthday.

Fantastic mate!!!

Don't worry about your boy.... Under the age of 4, birthdays don't count. They've got no idea ;)

+1 and I'm in too

got the word to-day that the new track a Bathurst will be up and running within 2 years followed by Wagga and then Nowra but don't hold your breath about Nowra

[Mr.Ed]

I've been holding my breath since they promised to build a replacement for Oran Park... I may finally be in for a world record.

[chubb]

In!! Also think this would be bloody chockers!

[Nelso]

Leanne and I are hoping to do this one. Hopefully they separate Unlimited Retro and Unlimited Clubsport, so I can cross enter the GSXR and the ZX10.

[Linden]

I'm there - TwinSprints and BEARS F5

[Binksy]

Looking forward to it! Only entering in 600's. Bring on next year when I can cross enter!!!

[dan]

Innnnnnnnnn

Why next year? Maybe I'll see you on the same qually row. Hmmmm try my luck and handicap again

[Marshy]

I'm guessing his R6 is plated 09.....

[Negrogrande]

ah crap, I can't cross enter complete brain fart mine is an 09, will have to contact Jan

[Binksy]

Indeed mine is a very late 09, I believe it's meant to be a 10 model. Not that it really makes any difference, especially now that it has an 08 motor in it.....

[Negrogrande]

mine is an early 09, doesn't make a difference, rules are rules I suppose

[chubb]

Hah. What rules?

[Mr.Ed]

I never entered a clubsport race so my question is "Do they actually check it"?

[dan]

Wouldn't know pretty easy to tell my bike is from the 1940s

[dan]

I think it's more everyone else knows each other's bike and if someone takes the piss they'll get called out

[Linden]

Come last and no one cares ... come first ... the magnifying glasses come out

Assuming you'll be on the 128hp motor now?? ;)

[Mr.Ed]

Yes

Well that's good then... I remember a while back (say 4-5 years) there was talk of someone who had entered a GSXR750 as CS600. No idea how much of that is/was true or not but from the 'tale' he never got caught but only 'cause he never finished top5 so no one got suspicious.

[dan]

Imagine where he would have finished if he WASNT riding a 750 haha

[Phat3R]

Pffft ... Dan's dad reckons says my GSXR600K1 looks big ... like a 750 ... as long as I keep finishing in the bottom 1/3 no one will eva know for sure ... ;-)

[Marshy]

I think it's only me that had to destroy my bike to prove it was eligible. They only spent two hours in the middle of a race meeting making me strip it down over and over and over. Someone obviously was pointing the finger at me, even though it was a 10/07-plated 08, and I could've been legally running a 12/08-plated 09 - ie more than a year newer and still be legal.

[Nelso]

They made a point about a year ago to start checking compliance plates after there were accusations of people cheating. They came around during the race meet and checked mine, even though it's an '04 model, so they were being pretty thorough.

[chubb]

They didn't at WP and Broadford.

[Metal-Man]

After you faxed it?

[Carl-52]

Im in for both days!!!!!!! should be great fun. They didn't have a good look around dads bike since it was an 06 and the legal age limit was 07 and 07 plated 08s. i think it was just bikes on the cusp of being illegal

[Metal-Man]

After you faxed it?


and what is wrong with using a fax? ... fax number is there on form ... an I told u b4, its convenient for me to do it that way, geez

just shits and giggles...... chubb watched me over the last few weeks rebuild my engine hence the big hp numbers for jokes

[senator8]

Getting a bit of heckling from Wetty, and thinking about it. 12 months without a lap and won't get a chance to ride before the meeting! Will give her some fresh fluids during the week and at least see if she starts.

I wish, biggest issue is waiting for parts.. Waiting waiting waiting... EVO3 exhaust arrives tomorrow, apparently. Dash/Palm received, 3 x large AF1 orders on their way.... Heads aren't back yet, Cams are back, block dropped off. Gearbox is done. Forks in customs. Aprilia Racing still making the harnesses (its all made to order) ECU sitting on head tech @ Aprilia Racings desk :), SBK tank waiting on info still and SBK radiator ships today, apparently.

Everything is so SLOOOWWWWWW

I think there might be a few TT members going on Saturday. There are heaps more of us going on Sunday (thread here: http://tarmactalk.com/forum/showthread.php?766-28th-sept-smsp-GP-circut )

Feel free to ask questions here. Racing is unreal fun, and every serious track day rider should have a crack at least once! I did a bit of a write up on what to do at your first race meet here: http://tarmactalk.com/forum/showthread.php?477-My-first-race-St-George-round-1-2-Marshy-Help!

[zoidberg]

Thanks Marshy, was a good read! Lots of info in there, it's the little things like grid position that would mess with me. You never even see the row markings at a trackday... I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to questions, but I'll pester away. For instance, are the rows marked clearly?

[Mr.Ed]

For instance, are the rows marked clearly?

They are, watch any race video that's been posted here and you can see the markers on the side of the track. Best thing ever... I'm yet to get my slot wrong so it's probably idiot proof too.

[Phat3R]

I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to questions, but I'll pester away. For instance, are the rows marked clearly?

I write down on tape and put on the tank my grid position, row and draw lines for the positions across and underline my one. I don't trust myself to remember it for a whole warm up lap! ;) I was in a garage a long way from race control - it's a farking long walk to get up there for your number and back, especially when you are X entered and have one race period to get it all done.

[Nelso]

I'll be working there as a marshal on Saturday, so I'll probably see you in scrutineering.

[zoidberg]

Hahah, Phat3R, that's pretty much what I was thinking. Nerves would already be at an all time high coming up to first race. Tape on tank, great idea! Nelso, will you be doing scrutineering? I'm on an 04 red R1 if you see me say hello!

By the way, was there ever a part 2 to that guide Marshy?

Well, the first half was very helpful, so thanks there! Now if I were to enter into two classes, unlimited and unlimited clubsport, does that mean twice the cost of entry?

[Little Mick]

Cheaper for second class. If it's your first event though I would suggest doing only 1 as it all happens real quick

[Mr.Ed]

Well, the first half was very helpful, so thanks there! Now if I were to enter into two classes, unlimited and unlimited clubsport, does that mean twice the cost of entry?

Nope, they charge you a 'cross enter fee' that used to be something like $75... no idea what it is these days though.

[chubb]

Still 75 at SMP

[Mr.Ed]

Still 75 at SMP

Biggest bargain in racing that is

[zoidberg]

I agree, one would be more than enough, just hoping to dip my toes in the water as it is. How does the day work out? ie, one qualifying session of how long, then how many races of how many laps etc? Sorry for the probably obvious questions!

[chubb]

Races are 5 laps. Qually will be around 8-10 mins. And 3 races throughout the day

[Saturnalian]

If you click on the link below and have a good read of the document it should answer a bunch of your initial questions, and then provide you with a whole bunch more to ask.....

http://www.stgeorgemcc.com/pg_roadracepdf.php?id=u2u2t2


Seriously, this is your best starting point to get an idea of what may happen on the 8th and 9th November at SMP

:nerd:

[Mr.Ed]

For $75 I'd cross enter just to get some extra practice before qually of whatever event you choose to take 'seriously'... hell, I'd even do all the starts as practice!! Then maybe finish the lap and pull into the pits. Almost cheaper than going to the drags and a lot more fun.

[Little Mick]

As long as you are organised tho ed. Remember my first race meet? I was the proverbial headless chook and pumping adrenalin all day

[zoidberg]

Hmm, they are both god points. How much time is there between the different classes etc? I'm assuming they wouldn't run classes that have a chance of cross entering back to back? Or is it just a luck of the draw thing?

I guess for another $75 it then becomes 6 races and 2 qualifying sessions, so definitely better value for money. But then again, you don't race bikes because it's cheap.

[CLIFFY]

Some are back to back depending on classes entered but even if they're one race between, it's only a 5 lap race and by the time you put warmers on and fuel in, that race has gone pretty quick. My first race weekend was both classes at smsp in February this year, I did all races and felt fine. At least you're only throwing $75 away if you can't handle the extra laps.

[Phat3R]

The $75 makes it tempting as you get soooo much more.

There is a one race gap between races for the 600's makes it all a bit rushed. Especially when it's your first time, need to find out where you finished to get your starting grid position, race timing is running late, shit I forgot to put in fuel, where's the funnel ... etc ... . Certainly leaves little time for anything else like socialising.

I felt like it turned it from something that was suppose to be fun into a bit of a job. Three races, practice / qually is plenty for me in the future, assuming I can remember how to ride.

[Marshy]

I reckon the $75 is worth it just for the extra practice and quali sessions in the morning, especially on a track you don't ride all the time (like the North circuit, or Broadford). Then if you're fading during the day (or running out of tyres etc), just drop your non-points scoring class). Besides, it's the absolute cheapest track time in $$ per lap terms you'll ever get!!! ;)

[Mr.Ed]

As long as you are organised tho ed. Remember my first race meet? I was the proverbial headless chook and pumping adrenalin all day


Yes but you were trying to do both classes till the end... hahahaha And to be honest, you did a hell of a good job! What I'm suggesting is to just take one seriously and use the other one as practice, especially for race starts!

I know I'm preaching to the converted but for those who have not raced yet, on a 5 lap race your start+1st lap is almost 50% of your result. So if you can practice those, I reckon there's a LOT of value in those $75.

But yeah, you do bring another good point... if zoidberg can arrange someone to lend a hand (aka pit bitch) that makes a world of difference, especially with it being your first race weekend. In the end, what gets you are the little things like forgetting to fill up, not having enough time to go get the race results sheet between races, adjusting tire pressures and etc. So bringing a mate or 2 is REALLY good.

[Little Mick]

The st g weekends are not too bad as a few guys do both classes so they are spaced at least 1 race apart. Worst I had was Fxrrc where the 2 classes were back to back on different bikes. Helping hands like ed are a must

[Phat3R]

Yeah a pit bitch that knew what they were doing would make it a dream come true for race days.

Come in throw the bike at them to sort out warmers, pressures, grid position on tank, fuel top up, soy latte ... wait wait ... maybe that last one's going too far ? ;)

Are you in it for the high Fives and water cooler chats.
Are you that talented that you would
only give your volunteer time to a place runner or simply more of a Marshal elitist ?

To me the idea of supplying a marshal is to give something back, help out the sport.

I just don't have any friends so I have to ask other forum members. [emoji22]

[Lets Torque]

Im running recovery on the Nth Circuit on the Saturday, dont let me see any of you unless its for a beer at the end of the day :)

[Linden]

I am not racing due to medical issues and cant risk work atm....... so I am one of the crash seen investigators on the north circuit anyone that IS IN THE RUNNING for a placing overall need a Marshal ?

I maybe in with a chance (of a very low place ...missing 4 hour hurt) but unsure as the ytd for overall have not been updated for Broadford. So would be good .... :)

Winning with no skill ... where attendance counts

[shippy__]

Are you in it for the high Fives and water cooler chats.
Are you that talented that you would
only give your volunteer time to a place runner or simply more of a Marshal elitist ?

To me the idea of supplying a marshal is to give something back, help out the sport.

I just don't have any friends so I have to ask other forum members. [emoji22]

Was more just letting anyone that's busting there balls know that im available

No harm intended it kinda came out blunt my bad


Love ya Jamie

[chubb]

I thought you would be in the running for a place? It's going to be a thin field compared to Feb.

I won't be racing, thought I might do some pit bitching for the needy as well as head over to T2 and take some photies ...

Why would you reckon it's going to be a thin field?? The brief convo I had it Jan is that it will be pretty packed.

[Linden]

Cool ... I'll let Jan know ... I'll wait a couple of days to see if the points come out and show me stuffed ... I know I got 3rd in Broadford handicap (bloody RK got 2nd by .4sec) and the others should be 3,3,3,2 - god I love an empty class ... But would prefer it "Half Full"

[Metal-Man]

Pretty much hear from them 3-5 days before the event.

[Leezx10r]

Thanks for that :)

ps. If any one needs a volunteer for eligibility let me know.. :)

[Marshy]

Pretty much hear from them 3-5 days before the event.

This ^^^

You'll get a bunch of paperwork in the mail a few days prior to the event. And at the same time an entry list will go up on the club website (and normally a TT member will spot it and let everyone know on here), and only then if you aren't listed do you need to worry.

[JC]

WTF? My ZX10 has only 15 more hp than your 6.:ohwell: With the weight disadvantage that I have, I should be able to ride in with the 600s.:twitch:

Are u looking to get a 08 R1 with 180hp??

Did you not see how easily he just walked past me on the straight at the first St George round? That thing is a dead-set weapon! I would catch him going into and driving out of nearly every corner and he would just pull bike lengths on me before the next corner. JC must have forearms like Popeye hanging onto it.

[Leezx10r]

Sweet am in!
What's the go if someone has registered the same number as yourself?

[Metal-Man]

correct me if im wrong, but it seems there no 600cc A graders??

And there are only 2 A graders in 600cc CS wetty and gary peake

[Metal-Man]

Sweet am in!
What's the go if someone has registered the same number as yourself?

I think u either have a "preferred" riding muber, or a "registered" riding number ... no one can have the same registered number ?? correct??

If you are in different classes, then it won't matter.

Same class different grade. Change before or on the day?

[Metal-Man]

sooner the better me thinks

I would have thought there would be even more FX guys having a run before the final round.
Without harking on about it - Terry's Gradings might be dictatorially subjective, but they're miles closer than MA.

[Linden]

To be honest, me too.

Good to see your name on an entry list again, mate :thumb:
Probably going to be a few more late entries, looking at your numbers above.

Cheers mate, I'm really looking forward to it. Although more than a bit nervous after a solid 12 months off.

Although more than a bit nervous after a solid 12 months off.

Just remember to turn left as you exit the garage and you'll be fine ;)

Why is there a dude on a 400 in the 600cc class?? Last dude on the list

I wondered that too, Ed. He was the only entry for 600 Retro (from memory), but still it makes no sense.

[Marshy]

I think u either have a "preferred" riding muber, or a "registered" riding number ... no one can have the same registered number ?? correct??

Yes, that's right (for NSW anyway).

[Linden]

And 2 #7 in BEARS .. and an 07

[Mr.Ed]

I have a bachelor's on that weekend otherwise I would be doing the Saturday I think... not game to go from nothing to a full blown race weekend but I'd be keen on doing the Nth Circuit for shits and giggles.

I'm sure Mick will be back next year, hopefully he'll be slow enough now that I can keep up!!!

fark 31 on the grid for clubsports... do a Carl Kitson dirt tracking start and drive around on the outside???? lol or just elbows out and go through the giant hole stu23 makes????

[chubb]

Gaint hole hey. Talking about his weight again?

Tis a big grid and qualifying will be tricky. Wonder how many people are going to do Moto3 shenanigans waiting for a tow ?

[Negrogrande]

Not much of a tow I can only hang on for half a lap :|

Edit: half a corner

[Marshy]

qualifying will be tricky.

Ask me and I'll give you some very good advice (in a PM) for qualifying. If I tell everyone, it'll not work any more ;)

[Marshy]

or just elbows out and go through the giant hole stu23 makes????

What makes you think he will out-qualify you?? :peace:

[Carl-52]

Have not ridden at SMSP for 6 months ish and i have improved HEAPS since i was last there doing 49's ish. Never ridden North circuit either! so i have lots of setup, track learning and applying new skills on the Saturday. By all means i might become the ultimate rookie and try to follow the fastest guy on track Moto3 style ;) i wont have to ride slow though, you guys will just pass me at my usual speed.

[Carl-52]

The way Carl has been riding he might very well out qualify me ( dad here ) and ill be mighty chuffed if he does ! well maybe ;)

[chubb]

Ask me and I'll give you some very good advice (in a PM) for qualifying. If I tell everyone, it'll not work any more ;)

Can't announce it either!! :cool: have to remember to bring the rear shock up for you too :)

I'll follow Gary Peake or PGM then.

[Marshy]

Yes please.

I got it sitting on the bench so I wont forget!

[chubb]

hmmm more fast FX boys have entered.

its ok I got the Kitsons with all their knowledge... Looks like it shaping up to be a good weekend

[Linden]

Cool ... I'll let Jan know ... I'll wait a couple of days to see if the points come out and show me stuffed ... I know I got 3rd in Broadford handicap (bloody RK got 2nd by .4sec) and the others should be 3,3,3,2 - god I love an empty class ... But would prefer it "Half Full"

Broadford was a good round pity I didn't do the 4 hour ahead of Stu by 1 point :)

I've let Jan know 17th at the moment ... hope to finish in the top 20 so I might win a tee shirt :) thanks again Matthew -

hmmm more fast FX boys have entered.
practice for the end of the months FX finally, pain in the arse for riders in some classes but great revenue for the club, proving again, that club racing is the most popular racing in Australia.

Edit...Just read on faceplace 261 entries

[Linden]

The BEARS grid is being split ...unfortunately I'll be loosing my cross entry as F4 and F5 will be in with TwinSprints :( - have suggested to Jan that we'd be better in with Unlimited CS so we'll see ... failing that I'll run my spare bike in F3 if there is space on the grid

[Marshy]

Dunno about y'all, but I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! Soooooo excited!!!! :rockon:

ARDC... north circuit... Friday for last minute practice

[Marshy]

Brabham circuit, unfortunately. We did email them asking about running the bikes on the GP circuit as proper race practice for the race meet, but haven't received a reply. Hey, how about we all email reception@ardc.com.au with our desire to run on the GP circuit in preparation for the race meet on the following two days? I mean, isn't that what private practice is for?!?

Oh, and the cars could still run on the extended circuit. We just need a flaggie to move the witches hats before and after the bike session.

Thoughts?

[Marshy]

To: reception@ardc.com.au
Subject: Bikes race practice for the 7th

Hi Christine,

Could you please pass this along to the relevant Private Practice organiser? Thanks :)

As you may be aware, the final rounds of St George MCC Road Race Championship are to be held at SMSP the weekend following the ARDC Private Practice on the 7th of November.
Naturally, us bike riders would dearly like the chance to practice on the course we'll be racing on. To this end and having spoken to the riders involved, we would like to request that for November the 7th, our sessions at least, be changed to GP Circuit as opposed to the Full Brabham circuit.

We hope you understand our position and that our request can be met without too much trouble with regards flag marshals etc. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

[Marshy]

Bummer. I don't think there will actually be any significant build up, but they seem not-negotiable. It's the same reason we heard last time we asked.


Hi Nick,
Thankyou for your email which requested that sessions for motorcycles at the November 7 practice day be held on the 3.93 km Gardner Circuit.
I have discussed the issue with our CEO and our Circuit Supervisor and unfortunately it is not as simple as moving a few witches hats. Because rubber and debris will build up on the outside of turn 7 during car practice sessions this area will have to be cleaned off with our industrial blower before bikes can use the Gardner Circuit. This will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes per change. Over the course of the day this will total 30 to 35 minutes of down time when nobody can practice.
Because of the loss of time involved we have decided to conduct all sessions on the longer Brabham Circuit as advertised.

Oh, and the cars could still run on the extended circuit. We just need a flaggie to move the witches hats before and after the bike session.

Thoughts?

Don't move the witches hats just use em for practice in picking lines :)

[Marshy]

Don't move the witches hats just use em for practice in picking lines :)

I told 'em last time we didn't need them moved - we would just go straight through them! They weren't impressed......

They aren't too fun-loving at ARDC.

[Marshy]

13 bike pre-booked with ARDC for the 7th.

Bummer. I don't think there will actually be any significant build up, but they seem not-negotiable. It's the same reason we heard last time we asked.


Hi Nick,
Thankyou for your email which requested that sessions for motorcycles at the November 7 practice day be held on the 3.93 km Gardner Circuit.
I have discussed the issue with our CEO and our Circuit Supervisor and unfortunately it is not as simple as moving a few witches hats. Because rubber and debris will build up on the outside of turn 7 during car practice sessions this area will have to be cleaned off with our industrial blower before bikes can use the Gardner Circuit. This will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes per change. Over the course of the day this will total 30 to 35 minutes of down time when nobody can practice.
Because of the loss of time involved we have decided to conduct all sessions on the longer Brabham Circuit as advertised.

They didn't reply to me!!
Hmmm...I see their point I guess BUT, given that there is no discipline that actually races on the full circuit, why is it even a thing for a Private Practice day??:rant:
Sigh... form submitted

[Turbo]

Dunno about y'all, but I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! Soooooo excited!!!! :rockon:

Not sure I've been this excited since the first time I ever went to the track... WOOOOT!! :dance:

Last weekend the forecast for sat was 39C so this is heaps good news

[Marshy]

Tops day today!! Jeez ARDC days are good! Lotsa track time; no oil; no significant stoppages - except lunch ;)

Good turnout of bikes too. REPRESENT :peace:

Race day tomorrow!!

[chubb]

Was a good day today. Delays due to lots of crashes and a massive one involving 3 riders. Hope all of them are ok.

Gave PGM a hard time today. Sure he will want to get me back tomorrow.

Sorry Marshy I broke your lap record for CS600 on the north circuit by 0.123. Hope you don't mind.

Keen for tomorrow

[Marshy]

It couldn't go to a more deserving rider, mate. Top stuff!!! :thumb:

[Marshy]

Owen (Sicko) is recovering in hospital with a broken leg. He'll be ok after surgery.

It was a pretty shitty afternoon for a few of us, but what an awesome morning!! Looking forward to more good racing and a little less carnage tomorrow.

[Nelso]

Thanks for letting us know Marshy. I was wondering how he was doing. Roger Green broke his pelvis; he was the one who's bike caught fire.

[Leezx10r]

Thanks marshy, didn't want to ask today didn't feel right! But so glad he will be ok, & hope the others today will be ok too.
See you in the morning mate

[stevem]

Good to hear .Rest up brother

[Little Mick]

I was on t 18 today. Congrats to those that did well. Chubb stepped up today. Well done mate. As for Owen, Roger, Gary and the others that had various incidents, my thoughts are with you and hope you all heal well.

Any updates on the others are much appreciated.

Cheers

Mick

[motorbiker]

Gaz has broken scapula and rib or 2, plus had a decent knock to the head.

Will be in Westmead for a couple of days... He'll recover, bike is ready for the skip bin.

Thanks all! I'm getting better in Liverpool hospital after an awesome chopper ride.
They'r putting a titanium pin (should make me faster ;)) in my femur tomorrow.
Will hopefully be walking, with crutches, on Wednesday.
Thanks all who took care of my shit. Thoughts with the other chaps too.
Can't wait to get back oht there tho! Racing is great... Just need to work on my starts!

[senator8]

Glad to hear you're in good spirits Owen. That was nasty.
Heal quick mate. All the best

LEGEND , Anything you need yell out mate .

Well Saturday was definately eventful to say the least... :(

I was running recovery all day with Shippy on the Saturday and we were hell busy..were out nearly every session, for some reason the Nth Circuit catches alot of PPL out and seems to have a bad hoodo on it..:attention:

Also was one of the unfortunate marshalls to witness the big pile up with Sicko and the other lads as i was right on the start line - fire extinguisher in hand we put out the bikes and checked if everyone was ok... i think for Shippy and myself it was a real eye opener as to how dangerous our sport can be and how quickly things can go bad.

Im glad to hear you boys are all ok and will heal up as it didnt look good -thoughts are with you all and if you need any help just shout out.

To all the marshalls , Ambo's, Stg Crew and all officials you do a great job behind the racing scene - thank you :) - it was nice to be on the other side and see all the hard work that goes into these events and was awesome to volunteer to give something back.

Congrats to all the guys who had a successful weekend

[Marshy]

An accident-marred event, but also some top racing!! BEARs was particularly good - the top 6 were having ding-dong battles each race, with lots of passing and fun fun fun!! I should have a couple of great videos in the next day or two.

Of course, my thoughts go out to all our injured friends and fellow competitors. It was heartening to hear that yesterday's injuries (whilst still serious!) were not as bad as initially feared. I'm not sure what the outcome of the bad turn 8 incident this afternoon was.

Ditto to the one in turn 4 in the 600 clubby.

Something about this weekend will keep it being talked about for a long time to come... from the number of incidents to watching aaron morris and Aiden wagner showing us how its done... the entry into turn 1 was phenominal... and then to working on the support side and being part of what makes it all happen..

Great stuff!!!

hopefully everyone gives some thought to the weekend and where they ended up (the good and not so good) and chalk up more experience from it and improve regardless.

now where is that bourbon....

[dadat178]

Flagged at 3.4 today, great conditions way too many red flags, not sure why, hope all those who fell heal quick.

[Phat3R]

They were big fields ... ??? Crazy two days ...

[Phat3R]

I saw on FB Ray's shots of Spilly going down T2 ... he looked OK?

[Metal-Man]

I saw on FB Ray's shots of Spilly going down T2 ... he looked OK?

think he was carted of to hospital by ambos.

had a few polite words with him prior to this incident, as he was takin unnecessary risks under brakes, causing other riders around him to go off line an avoid him completely, nearly taking me out with him on a few occasions as well.
I asked him to think about his braking technique an not be so aggressive under brakes, leaving you with nothing in reserve ......

his response .... "fuck off, don't tell me how to ride". (I wasn't telling him how to ride, just re-think his strategy)
so then it got nasty, and I thought "this is going well, lol not".
Not the sort of bloke that can be reasoned with aye?

it's a shame most of us know and are a little worried when we see him near us on the track.

He's probably a really nice guy in person, as our convo didn't really go all that well. :(

[chubb]

Just a shoutout to whoever who knows Gary Peake??? I want to know if he is ok

[Little Mick]

Ryan ended up as a ping pong ball when he was punted in this incident. What cam described sounds like it came to fruition....

Are the officials not watching???

red flagged races should be dealt with accordingly, and especially the rider that caused the red flag incident.
eg:
demerit points
1 race suspension
demoted to rear of grid / or pit lane start

etc etc

Then report it to the clerk of course. I think it was at T2, wasn't it? There's one flaggie down there, and almost 50 bikes going through at once after a race start. They can't see much with all that going on, and are only looking for incidents requiring a yellow flag. They can't be expected to monitor/police/judge riding behaviour. Race control can't see T2 at all (ditto anyone on the roof etc), so they aren't watching either.

Fyi, I've heard 2nd hand that Spilly has broken ribs and collarbone, and a punctured lung. He was choppered out.
