Crazy. I started with a full 18 litre tank, filled it with 10 litres twice and there was a litre left when I drained it at home

Shanny is a lot better

Is there anyway to get a copy of this spreadsheet. People are complaining its not on the web site. Even just cut and paste into a text file is fine. As long as everything is in the right order its all good.

How is it that there were two bikes on the track at the same time in the same race with the same number?

[Davelaporte221]

Both bikes are mine but one is In heavy and the other is in light.

For safety reasons so corner marshals can identify a bike correctly there should not be two bikes on track with the same number. We oblige visiting riders that have a number already used by a VRRA member to add a digit or letter to distinguish them.

Gary, scoring has no problem and the bikes are distinctly different. There are 2 distinct transponders and the riders are specific to the bikes.

There is no confusion.

Dave, Gary is talking about confusing the Track Marshalls if they need to track one bike. A scenario could be that Race Control directs them to look for a particular bike that others have said might be leaking fluid and needs to be verified

The marshalls spot the number given by the tower and sequentially call it as it goes past their station. If the consensus is "yes it is" Control directs for a "pointed at you" flag because he's confirmed something that was reported initially by another source. (Maybe Pit-out called it in because the suspected leak was not apparent until the machine accelerated away from them.)

I've seen it work to pull off a bike creating a hazardous situation, and, I've see marshalls advise "no problem" allowing the rider to continue, and not to lose any positions in the race because of an unnecessary stop.

Two bikes with the same number at the same time is not ideal there.

[gary holden]

Exactly the scenario I had in mind.
Also there are many bikes with numbers that are difficult/impossible to interpret at speed for a variety of reasons. That's why the Rule Book covers the topic. As hawk-eyed as they may be, corner marshals cannot read transponder numbers.
