Honest question for R.E.

Mr. Edmondson, I have a question regarding the rules. I understand that if a rider crashes he is to go to pit lane for an inspection. When Martin Cardenas crashed in the sport bike race he followed your rule. He pulled into pit lane and was patted on his butt and sent back out. I did not see any inspection in any manner, what gives?

 

What makes you think that the Roger you are looking for, will answer?

 

Should I think he won't?

 

The one you're lookng for won't.

 

absolutely you should think he wont. you've already proved that you're watching, all he needs is ratings lol


either way, i think the tech guy just did a quick look around for anything that was painfully obvious...and sent him on his way.

 

I guess that is over and above the racers abilities.

 

Well RogerE isn't watching the races. He is on the wera bbs, posting at the same time.

 

That is why I was asking him the question, I figured he would have an answer.

 

If I could spell ni eve, I would say you are.

 

I can spell simple, and I agree with you, you are.

 

That makes all kinds of sense. Let me put it so you can understand, RogerE isn't the Roger you seek.

 

Thank your for making it easy for me to understand. Maybe I will wave to you on Monday when the little bus you are riding drives by.

 

I made the same observation and this morning at the staff meeting will get the answer. I'll let you know.

 

Actually it is.

 

As it is with every track day/racing org I've ever been in. It's a safety factor for the individual rider and the other riders.

WERA Rule book, Chapter 3 Item 10;

"10. In a sprint race crash the rider and machine MUST be examined by a corner worker. Then and only then, the rider and machine must proceed directly to pit lane for a technical inspection by a WERA Tech Official prior to being scored for any additional laps or completing the race. Only after these two inspections have been accomplished, may the rider reenter the race if the checkered flag is not displayed."

I've seen some quick tech's and some painfully long ones. Given this guys position could you imagine the uproar if people percieved him to take too long? He took a quick look, didn't see fluids or loose parts. That's all that is really required.

(that was a quick tech check)
FYI- I know nothing of re-tech procedures nor do I care, just saw the tech stop and recalled this thread and the question & thought I'd add the visual.

Carry on.

 

how's that foot taste?

 

Filet of sole.
