The Cota MotoGp Thread (Drama Inside)

What a load of.....

 

They use a big diamond cutter (I’ve seen them as they are used at 5 Flags here in Pensacola) basically it’s like a huge drag/grinder that takes off the high spots.

Well apparently it didn’t work as well then on top of the remaining bumps, there wasn’t much of a cleanup effort it seams.

First practice you could see dust roost off the back of the bikes

So now you got engineers pissed because these motors aren’t made to ingest dust.

Basically it seems like they halfassed Tried then ultimately didn’t put in the effort needed

I get saving money and not resurfacing. But damn.... you gotta clean the dust.

 

Hopefully some rain will come through and wash the track off (sufficiently)

 

Dried up cow poop.

 

All those statues come alive at night and suck up the dust.

 

Which is exactly why I sad I think they maybe halfassed it or cut corners. I hope I’m wrong.

One of my very good friends/sponsors/Grader owner runs Panhandle Paving and Grading. They do roads all over Florida and Alabama. I’ve seen the diamond stuff firsthand.

Hopefully they learn a lesson because generally when ALL the riders are bitching, there’s a massive problem....

 

Awesome movie idea (Night at the museum, race track nights) lol filmed at Barber

 

Sounds like a real mess.

 

It’s time...

 

Did Greg White say the surface of the track was ground?

 

I'm not watching the US feed, but I believe that's what they said here yesterday too.

 

Yeah...another guy just said "industrial smoothing." Riders were said to be very concerned about the surface if conditions are wet....which they are.

Damp anyway...for now. Moto3's are on wets for now.

 

Look at the links posted on the previous page. They took diamond cutting devices to the track surface to try and shave down some of the bumpy sections the riders were complaining about. It didn't seem to help and to add insult to injury they apparently didn't sweep up the mess made from the cutting, hence the track having silty dust strew all over it.

Yup, at least if it was down pouring for a bit it might have thoroughly washed away all the dirt/dust. But just a bit of damp dirt is going to be a mess.

 

Now adding water to the dust

But not enough yet to wash it off

 

What a great Moto3 Qualifying session! Wow!

 

Everything is bigger in Texas.

 

Will be interesting to see how quadruple the HP deals with damp dust?

 

They will still leave dust. You need to blow the track to clear the dust. Trust me.
