Would something like a NRC case cover satisfy the regulations or does it have to be a separate protector? I think the NRC ones are a heavy duty replacement rather than extra layer

The NRC ones are fine. That's what I have on the Suzuki. Not cheap though, and heavy.

Definitely not cheap - quoted $220 for RHS. They are my last resort. Found a set in the states for $75 that I'll get for the future I reckon (if still available).
do a burnout
GB racing covers if you can get them to suit your bike.. best case savers ive usef so far
I'm sure Wetty mentioned that you can just stick some sort of protection on the stock covers ... or was I hallucinating ... ???
I went Woodcraft with the stainless steel slider that connects from inside, one was already on RHS, LHS had some cheap Chinese things that had already taken a beating, so got the matching other WC side off eBay.
I started knocking up a shark fin this evening and gave it a coat of paint. Pretty basic; L shaped bit of metal in rattle can black. Gotta keep the theme!
do a burnout
So Ive discovered anyone racing needs to supply a marshal to be in the points.. I'm not attached to anyone yet for either day so if anyone wants to put me on their paperwork let me know.
No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!

I'm still not home until tomorrow night.
So depending on how long it takes to get all of the cobwebs off the bike and evict the small family of starlings living under the seat i'll see you bright and early (Hah!) boys no Saturday morning.
New tyres arrived today, they look like the right ones in the photo's from the missus.

Lets just see how your race starts go before you get too carried away BoB....!!!
Yep both days. I've been doing it for years even a couple of Wakey ones for PCRA.
I never knew about this requirement for racers. Shame for anyone who needed a name in the past. Even dragged a few non riding mates along but none have stuck with it. Good being two up as I can take more pics..
Got my ticket and paperwork this arv.
Pm sent. Is name and phone all you need?
No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!

Skim milk and ciggies over here.
So, everyone needs to supply a Marshall to be in the points. It's my first race does it matter (the points, that is)?
Both days or just the one? Sorry I'm sure this info is somewhere. Is everyone supplying one? Wouldn't the be a hundred Marshall's then?
do a burnout
The Marshall rule applies to St George series points over the year. Your points and prize pool for the individual rd's aren't' affected
They wish! lol.Wouldn't the be a hundred Marshall's then?
No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!

Stupid question but are the grid spots numbered? I'd assume so, otherwise out of 40 riders, it would be nearly impossible to find your spot!
Also, racing numbers... I'm under the impression that you need to have one located on the rear of the bike, is this correct? If so, which way do the numbers have to face? Do you have to be able thread them correctly from behind, or from in front? And finally, can these numbers be bought off anyone on the day?
Oh and one more, the bracket for the transponder... Do they look like a go pro mount? I have what looks to be a go pro mount at the front of my tank, my bike was raced last year so I assume it needed a bracket then. Just wondering in case I have to pay the $15 for the bracket on the day.
The grid spots are numbered, although a bit hard to see until you are right on top of them. There are numbered witches hats indicating the Rows on the right-hand side of the track (just on the grass). Use these to aim for your row, then look closely for the grid numbers.
But I always write down my grid spot on some white duct tape on my tank, and I make a note of where that spot is relative to the track. Eg, for P12, I work out that it's 3rd row, closest to the inside/pit wall. Or P14 is 4th row, second spot in from the grass. And I write them on the tank as:
P12 R3 --> 1 (first from the left)
P14 R4 <-- 2 (2nd in from the right).
Or whatever system works for you. Remember that cars grid up with pole position on the inside of the track for turn 1, whereas for bikes pole is always on the outside of turn 1. So at the creek, position 1 is on the right-hand side of the grid. At the Island, it's on the left, because turn 1 goes the other way.
Race numbers are available from the race secretary when you sign on, or from Craig White's Bridgestone truck (they are much cheaper from Jan at race control).
The transponder bracket is specific for m/c transponders, and is usually cable-tied to the top of the left fork leg, between the two triples. It will say AMB or MyLaps on it, and have a big R-clip at the top to hold the transponder in. They look nothing like a go-pro mount. Just have $15 ready.

You need the bracket. They charge you $675 if you lose or damage the transponder, so for the sake of $15, don't mess around with the wrong mount. Also, if you don't mount them in the correct position, they can not pick up your laps.

not worth the hassle...get the bracket.. when you install the transponder, also check to see it doesnt interfere with steering motion...
Life's too Short- YOLO!
Cheers for the info. Will definitely be getting the bracket. Was just curious if the plastic clip on the tank was the bracket or not
Re numbers
In the supplemental regs that came with your paperwork there was mention of making sure could been seen clearly on left or right depending on the circuit you are racing on. If doing both obviously both sides. I know there's regs for that anyway but they seemed to be making a point of it in the supp regs. Make sure all is good cause I think scrutineering will be hectic this weekend and you don't want want to miss your race for something silly causing you to be checked more than once. I've never raced so don't know how strict they are and I may be talking shit.
No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!

Beauty, just received a message we can drop off the bike between 7-9pm tonight
perfect timing, on the way from Canberra
2007 Yamaha FZ1 Championship winner (2012) (the tank)
2007 Yamaha FZ1 Road bike
2005 KTM 450 EXC (fun bike)
2005 Yamaha R1 Class winner 2014
Just to clarify. You can drop your trailer in garages 1-18. You cannot unpack and there is no security. They are going to fit as many trailers as they can into those allocated garages.
Hi All
Sydney Motor Sport Park (SMSP) is allowing any interstate or long distances travellers that are participating in the St George MCC race meeting this weekend to Bump In (drop off) their trailers on Friday night if they wish to.
WHEN CAN YOU BUMP IN: Friday night 1st November between the hours of 7.00pm to 9.00pm only.
WHERE CAN YOU LEAVE YOUR TRAILER: Garages 1-18
They will be locked up overnight, but there is NO overnight security.
You cannot unpack or set up for the weekend as you won’t be in your allocated garage & they will be jamming as many trailers as possible in these garages.
When you get to the SMSP Gates tell Security what you’re doing & they’ll let you in.
Regards
Jan Blizzard
St George MCC Inc
Have a great weekend.

good luck to all out there today and tomorrow .. shame about the off today ;( positive note good to see some familiar faces out
Just heard that there were 4 riders taken to hospital due to a crash, hope no-one is badly injured,
What an awesome day!!! Great racing, and good weather (although it was pretty warm). Big turnout, but they were very organised and it all went very smoothly. There was a big crash in the first race of the day (BEARS), but apart from some broken bones, apparently everyone was ok. Which wasn't what we first thought when 5 ambulances, the helicopter, and 5 cop cars showed up. An hour delay (at lunchtime - perfect!), and racing resumed.
So all you first-timers... what did you think?!?
