Teaching people about what an Impact Zone is?

Thanks Prov....

The workers of MARRC are very dedicated to your safety!  We are all there because we want to be there not because we're getting paid.

Thanks for the Kudos....

I had a little get off at MAM last weekend. I had plenty of time before the field came around again, to pick up my bike and push it out of the impact zone. I did stand on the backside of it as I did this. ;D

why don't you ask CCS riders Brian #1, Corey #2, Dave #909, Little-Nicky #505 if I've cornerworked before!

are you saying riders that have crashed and are in an impact zone should stay where they are, and try and stand their bikes up, and possibly get back on the track??    I must ask you what you asked me..  Have you cornerworked before?  

YEs I cornerwork, for 4 yrs now. Picked up 2 of the members here bikes this year alone, one being SUperDave. ;D Yes people here have got back on track after crashing. THe workers here give it a check before letting them back.

BTW never heard of those guys.

Here's the truth on impact areas and the reasons to get the hell out.........
VIR on turn one a guy crashes out 5 feet off the surface to riders left.  He gets the bike up, hops back on and tries to restart against my co-workers repeated attempts to get him out of the way.  The field consisted of only 40 or more bikes!!  Well, he then not wanting to start in the grass decides to push his bike on the surface and crank it there.

Well, here comes the field up the straight still tightly packed and in comes a guy who just slung a rod. My co-worker finally said to hell with this and left the impact area hoping no one would nail him and get themselves killed.

The guy who slung the rod just did miss the guy still trying to crank his bike!  He finally restarts and leaves the scene about a half lap later.  Just before 2 more guys went down in the same spot.  As a matter of fact I was in the middle of calling for the race to be stopped just as he restarted.

He was extremely lucky yet extremely stupid.  He could have pushed the bike into a safer area and tried to restart from there without endangering himself or the other riders.  Thank god the guy that slung a rod didn't put down oil.  The reason he didn't was because his buddy forgot to put oil in the damn thing after rebuilding it.  Talk about horseshoes up the rear.

I don't race but I do cornerwork and getting points or winning is all cool,  just make sure that you and the other guy can get up next week and do it again.
