MotoAmerica I Superbikes at Minnesota I Brainerd International Raceway - July/29-31

I need to re-watch the feed. If memory serves, possibly something fell off the bike the turn before the off. They briefly had a replay then didn't go back to it.

 

Nobody knows nothing, so I'll wait for the Dustin n Stanboli conversation in a day or two

 

Well, interesting:

Max Van got his bike protested AGAIN after race two but nothing was found to be illegal. (Wonder who protested?)

Gagne is said to of made a "Rare Mistake".

Duly Noted: Brainerd International Raceway - MotoAmerica

 

The Red Rocket’s Glare

Just as he did at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca during the previous MotoAmerica round, Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC rider Danilo Petrucci once again recorded the fastest trap speed at Brainerd International Raceway. Petrucci wicked his number 9 Ducati Panigale V4 R up to 159.9 miles per hour on the opening lap of Saturday’s Medallia Superbike race one.


Somebody protest this cheater...

 

The rest of this season and then th e full season next year.

 

weird

 

You misspelled, word...

 

$250k will do it.

 

That was a very odd place for Jake to crash.

 

He wasn't protested at VIR, MotoAmerica tore him down and DQed him. Three teams protested at Brainerd because that bike had a massive and obvious advantage through T1 - T3, pulling everyone through there, and in other sections after that it held everyone up. A few people here even noticed and posted in this thread.

The protest procedure used to be different, you paid your money and you got to tear down as much as you could afford to see. Now you must protest a specific item, say spark plugs as an example, and that's the only thing that's checked. So the protest may not find violations, all it says in this case is that the specific items that were checked were ok.

 

Just curious, because I don't know, and this is not a post saying guilty of anything, but say I protest your crank and its legal, but they remove your illegal big bore that wasn't protested, and the protest time is up, are you Dq, or is it perfectly fine?

 

That's a little ridiculous. Might as well do away with protests altogether. Or allow protests for acceleration and top speed.

 

That's how the procedure was explained. I believe that the regulations are being misunderstood by officials, the "single subject" refers to a specific regulation, not a specific part.

"3.4.3 Procedure and time limit for protests All protests must be submitted and signed only by the person directly concerned. Each protest must refer to a single subject only and the intention to protest must be notified to Race Direction within 30 minutes of the publication of the results."

 

You just have to guess correctly.

 

On the flipside, I suppose it's a good way to foster technical innovation.

 

And collect $950 for each protested subject.

 

Check your link again, something has been removed.

 

Was gus penalized race1?

 

interesting...

 

Championship points for the race were removed under sanction for regulation 1.21.b. Odd thing is Gus was spoken to in Parc Ferme by an official about the incident and was told he wasn't being sanctioned. But that changed for some reason.
