Not trying to compete for the shit disturber award here..... but
Rules are rules and they should be followed.... this guy also raced at BFR with open headers in July..... as a spectator it was physically painful as he passed...if this hurt my ears as an adult what do you think this did to the little kids and baby ears that where there.
Rule # 1 he broke was the noise he was above the db rule for CCS, the track it's self and the municipality in which the track is located.... and BFR has some really shitty neighbors that like taking a jab at BFR as often as they can.
Rule # 2 he broke was the CCS rule about requiring an exhaust.
I am not a racer to the sour grapes do to getting waxed out there doesn't apply, the threat of tech making my life a living hell doesn't apply either.
Tech should have never let the guy race due to the lack of exhaust because it broke to rules ---- regardless of the advantage/disadvantage or safety concerns... this guy broke the local laws by being so loud and could have resulted in the track being fined....... would the tech guy like to pay that ticket? I don't think so.
If you don't have a race legal bike, why are you bothering to show up to race?... because you have a good relationship with tech and they will let it slide for you? if you are not race ready stay home!
the rules are the rules and they are there for a reason. What is the point of having the rules if you are not going to follow them or enforce them? the guy effed up and so did tech. Both should be penalized IMO. The racer should lose all points gained for running an illegal race bike and tech should be punished so how for signing off on the guy.
your excuse of factory stuff and waiting is BS... if you don't have a legal race bike, stay home.
saying there was no safety issues is also BS because that bike was literally painfully loud and for the little kids it could have caused ruptured ear drums and hearing damage..... there is a medical reason for the db rules..... it isn't there to make the bikes quiet so as not to piss of the public.
the rules do need to be enforced, ALL OF THEM, not just the ones that you think are important.
I have seen that different people are treated differently due to their friendship with tech and that is wrong. all should be treated equal... not one guy gets to pass with things wrong while the other guys doesn't.
