As I said, if it's obvious ie. timer on the triple clamp or phone stuck to the tail or tank, we HAVE to do something about it; but, if it's not obvious, it will slip through undetected. It's pretty hard to do anything about aftermarket dash units that have built in timing, just like you can't do anything about the OEM lap timer that's built into modern bikes.

The whole timing thing is part of MEGA's contract with ARDC to differentiate it from race days and race practice days and has to do with the insurance cover. It was all done long ago before bikes came with timers built in and before the era of GPS and smart phones so the contracts and rules are all behind the times. Lucky for all of you rule breakers, the technology is way to advanced to keep track of, so if you do it discretely, it is impossible to detect. Just be smart about how you word things in social media etc. to not incriminate yourself and remember, you're not breaking any rules if a friend decides to time you from the roof and then tells you what your times were, later.
