Two teams (Eastboune Champ and NDL) have gone to the wall today, yet you want teams to splash out £thousands on a clock in the middle of the track? Just to save on riders digging/gardening at the start (which is always going to happen, by the way)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted August 26, 2021 Zero cost option - could the referee tells the team mangers and riders that it is expected that the riders come to the tapes when instructed by the start marshall, not to wilfully look the other way or piddle about with clutch settings and adjusting goggles, failure to do so will result in sanctions / penalties, exclusion or 15m handicap for example? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinBSN 617 Posted August 26, 2021 GP and Polish rules. 2 minutes to get to the gate and garden. Tapes up at the end of 2 minutes. Clocks aren't expensive, you'd be looking around £200 for one durable and big enough 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
