ImpartialOne 160 Posted October 8, 2011 16 heats is the cut off point and they got to that, shame. What a farce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marmite 84 Posted October 9, 2011 Felt sorry for Harris tonight, he was unlucky in two races. Wish he had shown that form all season long, hope its not too little too late now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish he had shown that form all season long, hope its not too little too late now Clearly whatever the problem was - the team have identified it and he is a lot more competitive now, lets hope he can have a good break over the winter and take that knowledge forward next season - GPs or otherwise.

On the contrary, I think it's the winter break that screws him. He then takes about 4 months to get going again. What he needs is a winter touring Australia, testing out engines on big fast tracks and staying competitive and then hit the ground running come March.

I agree with IO, Harris ended the 2010 season i a very good way but yet he didnt get going until towards the end of this GP season. It could also be that the tracks in the of the season suits him better then the tracks during the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazeaway 1,501 Posted October 9, 2011 I'm really hoping AJ can start next season the way he finished this one. It look like he has his "set ups" sorted and has been the pick of the bunch over the second half of the series. AJ would be a great World Champion in my opinion.

Certainly my favourite rider and that race with Emil in the peeing rain was breathtaking, no hang ups about conditions, just went for it. I was watching from behind a cushion screaming at the telly that he only needed 2 points, waiting for him to come a cropper but he didn't (thank God) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mothorsen 39 Posted October 10, 2011 One more rainy day... And what a horrible, horrible day for a Holta fan. Oh well. Eyes forward to next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Know 221 Posted October 11, 2011 Has anybody noticed the little boxes that are attached to every rider's lower right hand fork leg? I don't recall seeing those before. Wonder what they are? they are transponders for timing each rider. will be used instead of the stop watch and the silly red line used to split two riders at end of close race. was looked into 2 years ago but put off because of cost. very good idea and has lots of plus points. will be used maybe for friday quali or gate pick in future.

They were used at Sanok (Poland) in 2008 at the EM Iceracing Championships, during the practice it recorded lap times and speeds. It was thought at the time, due to the warm weather, these times would be used to decide placings if the meeting was cancelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
