Dunlop Contingency

Awesome. Thanks!

 

Has anyone heard on the structure of the purse yet?

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Dunlop puts up 100k. And the top heavyweight team can win $2,500?

 

If you win I’ll throw in some tequila for you Brad. Nothing too nice, don’t want to spoil you.

 

Soooo, do you have to be on Dunlop’s to get that money? I haven’t seen anything definitive yet.

Also saw this
“N2 has introduced a new endurance relay class that will run as part of the 4-hour main event.”
I’m wondering how many bikes are expected to be on the grid.

 

Its supposed to be a purse, not contingency. Should be open for folks on any tires. Just saw where AOD is now on Pirelli's...

 

Bikes sitting in hot pit is going to be tricky for sure.
Say you have 10 relay teams, and each team has 4 riders. That would be 30 bikes in hot pit waiting to go out. Bringing bikes on to hot pit as you need them is to0 dangerous.

I don't know how N2/WERA is gong to handle this. I would think they could either group all relay teams at end of pit lane or put in a pit speed limit.

 

With the main event with 3 classes, the ULW 2 hour, and this new "relay" race I think WERA officials will be very busy on race day. The endurance relay is a new class that allows newcomers to try their hand at endurance racing. Each rider pilots their own bike as part of the relay, exchanging the transponder during pit stop.

 

3 bikes parked at a 45 degree angle within a pit box wont be an issue. They just need to look up pit road before they leave the box. No different than any other endurance race.

 

I think it is much safer to have relay teams all in the same area.

 

I don't have an opinion other than someone smarter than me will figure it out. The best advice I have received so far is:

"Go that way really fast. If something gets in your way... Turn."

 

yeah but that’s skiing...

 

Did you guys figure out how transponder/bike hand off is going to work?
