WEEKEND IN REVIEW

Zhoda International Raceway provided an exceptional race track this past weekend, so thanks goes out to Daryl Burmey and his family and crew for their efforts.  The entire facility was pristine and the parking lanes were COVID exceptional!  Thanks goes out to the 50cc parents for their cooperation during intermission at the mini bike track for staying and running their motos back to back.  The mini bike track was also perfectly prepped and we even managed to run a line all the way out to use our transponders so it could not have worked out any better.

A few notes from Zhoda that came about that are important to mention here:

  • Once the 30 second board is displayed, a rider cannot signal a call for a 2 minute delay for a bike issue-this has to be done prior to the 30 second board going up.  This also applies to the 2nd gate drop, as the 5 second board goes up as soon as the Head Referee deems it safe for the 2nd drop to go.  The one 30 second board applies to both gate drops.

  • Just a reminder to keep racing UNTIL you get the checkered flag.  You may get 2 white flags because of circumstance, so keep racing.  An official will pull you off the track if the race is complete and you did get the checkered flag but didn't see it.

  • Remember, when going off the track for whatever reason, please re-enter the track in a safe spot in a controlled manner that does not interfere with another rider, while not gaining an advantage in the race.
