CMV06 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm really hoping AJ can start next season the way he finished this one. It look like he has his "set ups" sorted and has been the pick of the bunch over the second half of the series. AJ would be a great World Champion in my opinion. Certainly my favourite rider and that race with Emil in the peeing rain was breathtaking, no hang ups about conditions, just went for it. I was watching from behind a cushion screaming at the telly that he only needed 2 points, waiting for him to come a cropper but he didn't (thank God) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothorsen Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 One more rainy day... And what a horrible, horrible day for a Holta fan. Oh well. Eyes forward to next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Know Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Has anybody noticed the little boxes that are attached to every rider's lower right hand fork leg? I don't recall seeing those before. Wonder what they are? they are transponders for timing each rider. will be used instead of the stop watch and the silly red line used to split two riders at end of close race. was looked into 2 years ago but put off because of cost. very good idea and has lots of plus points. will be used maybe for friday quali or gate pick in future.

They were used at Sanok (Poland) in 2008 at the EM Iceracing Championships, during the practice it recorded lap times and speeds. It was thought at the time, due to the warm weather, these times would be used to decide placings if the meeting was cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
