I see they got your wheelie then. Not quite the stand-up of Van De Mark but still looked pretty good

**zoidberg** · 27-02-2016, 01:29 PM

Yeeeeew! Just a lot jealous Nick. Try not to have too much fun.

Just out of interest Nick, was power supplied to the paddock area for the support riders and did you need a generator rolled out onto the track for warmers or was it a warm up lap then race without delay?

There was a 15A outlet for each competitor. We needed generators on the grid (this year the media grid was 10 mins each, up from 5 mins). At the 3 min mark they used to shoo you off the track, by the time you got warmers on, it was exactly time to take them off! Daft. This year it was at the 2 min mark, so warmers for 5 or 6 mins (after getting them fitted) was quite useful. A couple of ppl just sat there. In the heat of Qld last year, I did the same thing. If it's hot, even 10 mins is fine. You get another warmup lap after.

You don't have to sit on the grid - you can go out and come in again after the sighting lap, or even not go out at all. Then start from pit lane on the warmup lap (after the 10 mins) and take your normal grid spot. But sitting there on the grid with a big crowd and all the action feels sooooooo MotoGP!!

Great information Nick. You've given me motivation to enter the 600's next year. I'll get my arse kicked but the whole WSBK experience will be worth it

No wonder the exhaust folded like a pretzel.

**KANGA** · 03-03-2016, 10:52 PM

Jesus that must have come as a surprise. Know the feeling

any idea why it folded?

It was strange alright. I just can't figure it out, and have chalked it up to 'one of those things'. It did put me off through Hayshed for the rest of the weekend though!

**simonr** · 04-03-2016, 06:48 AM

right hand side of the tyre must have cooled down a lot? Honda corner wouldn't have put much heat through it especially at outlap pace, and the hayshed was the first right hander where that grip was needed??

**Leezx10r** · 04-03-2016, 07:18 AM

That was a strange off Nick! Good to see you got the 15 back together for Sunday.
Glad your ok

**Carl-52** · 04-03-2016, 01:31 PM

You werent even leant over... Has to be a spill, fluid or something. Cant have cooled down the tyre down that much to drop like that...

It sounds like the throttle was shut twice , the second time just before it went which would have loaded the front that wasn't up to operating temperature maybe. ?

You could be right! I just listened again, and I definitely shut off again, then it goes. So it really was the dude in front's fault

He was a pain in the ass all weekend - all over the track, slow mid-corner, then fast out, and repeat.
