2024 Daytona 200 aka Big D

Changing behaviors should take precedence over buying Airfence, IMO. And you know I don't hate Airfence. If that keeps happening, it makes it look like the fine is not a deterrent but just money collection, regardless of what it buys.

 

Excellent!!!

 

I think the Pit Lane speed of 37mph at Daytona is way too slow. They do the race start on pit lane. 60 mph seem much more reasonable.

 

Seems slow but MotoGP and WSBK both use 60 kmh limit...assuming they do same because it's a standard set by FIM.

 

$150 fine per incident. If you get dinged enough times you get a visit from the stewards with threats of further sanctions. Don't ask me how I know.

 

STOP. Do not let facts stand in the way of OUTRAGE!!!

 

Do you get to count it as a charity donation?

 

Electronics are useful but not foolproof. First, the limiter must be engaged by the rider with a button. Once engaged it can be manually disengaged with the same button, or by shifting above a predetermined gear. So for example if the pit limiter is engaged in 1st gear it will be automatically disengaged by shifting into 2nd. So discipline by the rider is required which may at times be in short supply depending on circumstances. Specifying a higher disengagement gear can cause problems by loading fuel and fouling plugs and impacting performance depending on the fuel/ignition cut parameters. It can be a delicate balance. Sometimes you will see that a bike is difficult to restart on pit lane after using the limiter as a result.
