Unwritten Racer Rules / Etiquette

[tshort]

If you see someone wrestling with their EZ-up by themselves, walk over and give them a hand.  Even if they appear to know what they're doing, I guarantee you they will appreciate it.

Tom I would gladly help you put up your ez up. But you never do appear to know what you are doing.

If you make a bone head move on the track and bump somebody or scare the crap out of them, look that person up in the paddock immediately following that race or practice session and say "sorry" or "oops, I didn't mean to do that".

I'm all for that, so which one of you was out of control and crashed into me pushing me into the wall in turn 4 at Summit Point on July 2nd in the middle weight gp amateur race?  hmmm?

[Z-man]

I have one that I feel very strongly about.

If someone is kind enough to help you in your hour of need after a crash and give you a critical part to get your bike up and running again.  Please by all means, remember how important that part was and how critical it was for you to borrow it. 

Make it equally as important to get that part back to the lender as it was to borrow in the first place.

Great topic and responses...

A couple more that come to mind:

Try to keep an eye on your neighbor's pit area when they're out on the track.

Respect the paddock speed limit and slow down around kids, dogs and other folks there to enjoy the races.

Buy your tires from the vendors there supporting the racers.

No matter where you are in the paddock or what you are trying to do at that moment, please stop what you're doing, remove your headgear and stand for the singing of the National Anthem.

Never assume the tire guys have put the correct amount of air pressure in your tires!!!

As a veteran I strongly agree!! And NEVER take anything for granted!!

Thank you. The national anthem takes about a minute, during which you don't have ANYTHING more important to do. Show some respect and class (and take your hat off for god's sake...)

True that.  Flip, tho, usually is the one doing the wrastling... ;-)  Me? I save it for the track! Woohoo.

Here's a hot one:  be discrete about oggling fellow racers wifes/gf and daughters.  My eldest daughter's comment after coming home was "White Trash!!"

LOL. I've never been a victim of that behavior.
