@Wonder: Ok i'm confirming my dates, i'll be at the track on BOTH the Saturdays namely the 7th as well as 21st of the dates, as far as participation goes, i'm not too sure, with 19 on the list and counting, IMO it's not the best time for a first-timer like me to be hitting the track, but i'll be more than happy to be a pit crew support (as i've been on numerous occasions before) tentativelyI'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

Dude, you didn't read my post properly I mentioned the word "many", I didn't say that none were coming, anyway since it's gonna be on the 21st it's okay. But I must say the track is real good there in Chennai, I've been there with my bro & friends a couple of times, but I've only driven cars on the track & not ridden any bikes, the last time I went there was on the first Sunday of this year. RIDE SAFE, TAKE CARE.Originally posted by wonderboy_tm View PostWell bro, i am sure you did not see Joel in that..it is very less likely for this event to happen on the 8th of feb as you can see.... But if you are here and want to go to the track on the weekends.... send me a PM may be i can accompany you to the track....
cheers bro
CHEERS,

@ GD : If you can make it on the 22nd (Tentatively) you can ride as well.........
@all :PLEASE DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED BY THE HUGE LIST.... The more the people the more you learn... and for people with the the idea that they are gonna crash at the track, you will not..... because the possibilities of you crashing on public roads are higher than at tracks..... Everyone will witness disciplined riding there at the track, so the chances of one crashing is very very less...- WonderBoy

Its not the crashing I'm worried about, its the Cowboy'ism that I'm worried about. Trying to get one up on each other and stuff like that!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE TRACK DAY / RIDER BRIEFING
These are a set of instructions that should be followed during the event to avoid unnecessary confusions at the venue. These are NOT rules being imposed on anyone. These are instructions given to beginners for their safety.
- Everyone should be wearing a riding jacket with elbow and shoulder protectors. A minimum of denim jackets with elbow sliders worn on them.
- Gloves are mandatory for any rider planning to ride on the tracks.
- Shoes which cover the ankle must be used. Snickers are not entertained.
- Use of a knee and shin slider or a knee guard is recommended.
- The visor of the helmet should always be closed when riding on the track.
- Everyone should go around the tracks only in the clockwise direction (Even in the pits) to avoid confusion and any mishaps.
- If a person is willing to come into the pits, he should sit up raise one of his hands after exiting the final corner. This is to indicate the rider behind of your intentions.
- When a rider enters the race track from the pits, he is to look behind (at the entry of c1) and then enter the track after everyone is gone.
- Hooliganism will not be entertained at any point of time. Remember we are not going there to race, but to know about track riding.
- If you have any experts on your tail (e.g.: Killer, Joel) try to give way and learn their lines by observing them.
- Overtaking is to be done in proper racing style to avoid any accidents, i.e. an overtaking maneuver is to be carried out strictly on the racing line to avoid collision. This clearly explains that one can overtake if the rider in front fails to apex a corner.
- Borrowing bikes is allowed only on mutual agreement. Under a condition” YOU BREAK IT, YOU FIX IT”.
- Photographers can walk around the track with proper footwear. (keep a look out for snakes. I remember having eye contact with one for three consecutive laps at the chicane before the bridge.)
- If a rider finds an oil leak anywhere, try to keep a distance from those patches and avoid sudden braking or acceleration when on them. (Mostly you fill find saw dust already spread on it, so it won’t be difficult to spot them).
- Once the red flag is out at the start line, everyone is to make an orderly entry into the pits.
I hope i have mentioned everything. If i have missed out anything please let me know guys. I would be more than happy to append. People can also debate on rules which you think should be modified.Last edited by wonderboy_tm; 02-03-2009, 07:18 AM.- WonderBoy
