    # Water ranged from clean like Marshy to never flushed brown soup - plus some green - and yes I see the irony in my task!
    # Numbers. White background and black numbers easy to read while other combinations suck and triple digit numbers really suck
    # Hard to read numbers and colour combinations caused problems on T4 during practice/qualifying to when to signal riders to exit T4
    # Some riders hand signaled to exit T4 early practice & qualifying. Also in racing some back markers exited on Lap 4 - assume riders briefing still said this is a no no. Running up the rear of other bikes I'm sure if I could remember would be unpleasant.

    Finally Helmet Cameras. Michael Schumacher if he could would advise against it I reckon. Helmets may not work as well if you whack a lump on it...

    Great footage Marshy and congrats to all on last weekends results. Anyone know the reasoning behind not allowing camera's on bikes at EC last weekend. Doesn't make any sense as it's just as likely to fall off the rider as the bike and as others have said, is more dangerous should the rider hit their head.

    That was a bloke in Clubsport I believe, I saw the belly pan, it had a 10mm lip at the back, enough to hold 100ml of oil if that! he apparently had a faulty oil filter
    it started in pit exit to the exit of turn 2 as you saw.....so expect everyone to have to juggle their belly pan along with everything else up to scrutineering at future race meets

    well he did fall off, hence the final squiggle, he was lucky it was at such a slow corner and it wasn't too hard to ride around for the rest of the day
    Still very annoying the lack of rule knowledge and bike preparation :-(

    HA!

    That was a joke, right? Proper scrutineering? Never!! They were too busy checking for the important issues (coolant and cameras) to worry about a minor concern (oil).

    I hate to say I told you so, but this is exactly what I was talking about pre-event. Total fixation on a non-issue (coolant) and no examination of the important stuff (oil).

    So going along with the theme of D grade riders wearing the pink vest . Do you think that C grade riders wearing like a green vest and B grade another colour maybe yellow would be worthwhile ? So when your on the grid you can see how many in your grade is in front of you or if the bike your chasing is worth going all out to pass .? Also for the people spectating , they can work out how your going in your grade?
