As discussed with someone on another forum this morning... Seller received a couple race suspension. IMO, Herrin deserves no less considering his actions were more severe, my $0.02. The AMA needs to remain consistent or they risk showing favoritism towards a factory rider.
They would need to have spare spare wheels as everyone would have had the original spec tires mounted on what ever spare wheels they had.
Where'd you see that Nico? Wasn't it just a single race (the final round at NJMP) suspension for Seller?
And the 200 has more low budget privateer teams than any other race on the AMA calendar. Remember Duhamel bitching about them?
so we can expect to see riders allowed to work on their bikes under red-flag situations all season? as sarcastic as this may sound, its not. simply a question
trolling as opposed to adding something constructive, subjective, or objective to the thread or posing inquiries is pointless
danes bike was repaired on pitlane during a red flag last season might have been barber not sure the race
My answer was not intended as sarcasm. The rest of the season is sprint races. Odds of a two hour plus stoppage because tires showed problems at a mid race change is kinda small don't you think?
FYI.. http://amaproracing.com/assets/AMAProRoadRaceCompBull2011-04.pdf Regulations for Scheduled Pit Stops during a Race & Red Flag Situations for theDaytona 200 Only. Work may be performed on the bikes during scheduled pits stops as well as during a red flag situation including changing tires and must be carried out under the following guidelines: This is just a Comp Bulletin for the 200...but clearly states work can be done during the Red Flag.
i dont remember this but i also didnt catch every race last season. tonight i'm gonna have to go look at the AMA rulebook and see what i can find. IIRC, the general rule was during a red-flag bikes must pull into the hot-pit, be put on both stands, and are allowed to have an umbrella put over them and warmers put on. I dont remember this as a rule but more or less as the procedure i always saw and usually the bikes were parked against the outside wall nearest to the track and no one was allowed to touch them until restart. seems like i also remember where the rule gets somewhat sketchy if the bike is already under repair when the red flag is thrown. im not looking to find fault or wrongdoing by team latus or the ama here, but more or less just looking for clarification on these rules from someone who knows them right off without me having to digging. looks like i may just have to do that later this evening though.
i wasnt referring to your post as being sarcastic, just simply stating i could see how mine could be taken as such and that it wasnt meant that way. and you are correct. chances are we wont have another tire problem delay. but that doesnt answer the question about disalvo and team latus.
dude, don't waste your time. it was all figured out in one of the other ama threads, with all the rules copied and pasted. it was a legit repair according to the rule book.
