POST CLASSIC RACING ASSOCIATION of NSW RD. 2 CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS FINAL INSTRUCTIONS Venue: Sydney Motorsport Park Date: SUNDAY 7 TH MAY 2017 MA Permit No: 6/17/C/21629 Date Prepared: 30 TH APRIL 2017 Dear Competitor, These Final Instructions must be read in conjunction with the Supplementary Regulations for the meeting. PLEASE STUDY ALL THE ENCLOSED INFORMATION VERY CAREFULLY: If there is anything that you feel is incorrect please email [email protected] advising the incorrect details. If the problem can be fixed prior to arriving at the circuit it will be sure to save a lot of time. On Arrival at the circuit it is imperative that you come and sign on in the Race Secretaries Office PRIOR to going to scrutineering. In particular, I need to see competitors who need One Event Licences. Gates Open: 6.30am 1. ENTRY PASSES: No Admission charge for this meeting so no tickets required. 2. RIDING NUMBERS: Due to duplication in some events a number of competitors have been allocated numbers other than what they requested. Please ensure that your Riding Numbers are clear and easy to read. 3. GARAGES: Sydney Motorsport Park has more than enough garages to cover all entrant bikes. Therefore, garages for Round 2 will be on a self-allocation basis (FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED) with the exception of garages 1 - 4 which are allocated to PCRA race organising personnel. 4. HELMET SCRUTINEERING: The latest release from MNSW regarding compliance of helmets used for motorcycle racing dated 14 th August 2105 states in simple terms: The helmet must carry an AS1698 Australian Standard label. If the helmet does not carry an Australian Standard label adhered to the rear of the helmet it must carry an approved label inside the helmet conforming to FIM standards as per page 117 of the MOMs. This includes ECE22-05 or J, SNELL M2010 or M2015 or JIS T8133: 2007. If your helmet does not display an AS1698 Australian Standard label it is the responsibility of the competitor to have knowledge of the whereabouts of the alternative FIM standards approval affixed inside the helmet and produce this to the scrutineer. As per MNSW directive – if neither of the above is applicable your helmet will be impounded until the end of the meeting and returned at the culmination of the event. 5. SCRUTINEERING: Please ensure that you have everything with you including your Log Books (where necessary). All machines must be CLEAN. Dirty, oily, muddy machines will not be examined unless clean. Leathers must be worn to Scrutineering – this saves a lot of time and will help to keep things moving. To facilitate checking of lock wiring of drain plugs, if not easily visible with fairing in situ; Fairings must be partially or fully removed for scrutineering. Belly Pans are to be totally removed and brought to scrutineering as a separate item. No excuses. Note from Chief Scrutineer Marcus De Caux All riders are advised that Scrutineering at Round 2 will continue to impose strict standards of compliance with MOMs. Two issues warrant particular attention. Coolant Members will have noted MA has changed the rule on coolant, now allowing non-glycol additives. Glycol remains prohibited. There is some evidence that even non-glycol coolants reduce adhesion, including a residue dried on the track or on tyres. But, under MOMs, Scrutineering enforces "compliance" not "safety". Riders are advised that new testing equipment will be used from Round 1 to test coolant for Glycol and any bike testing positive will be removed from racing until it tests negative. Non-glycol coolant mixed above manufacturers’ specifications, usually 5%, may also test positive and result in a direction to remove or dilute it before being allowed on track. All water-cooled bikes must present to scrutineering with access to the radiator for testing. Kill Switches A fully functioning kill switch must be fitted to all machines and readily visible and distinguishable. MOMs allows the Clerk to "Exclude from any event any machine which the Clerk of Course considers to be dangerous," (Section 2, 4, 6, 1(h)). Scrutineering advice that a machine may have Glycol in the coolant would be grounds for exclusion. Obviously, continuing to use only water avoids this risk completely. Pre Modern extended to 1997. As previously announced, PM has been extended to 31 December 1997. Yamaha R1 is specifically prohibited, as are some components, and an eligibility list has been created. All this can be seen at https://www.pcra.com.au/wp- content/uploads/2016/04/PCRA-RaceClasses.pdf . All PM machines will be strictly assessed at Scrutineering to enforce this rule change. Riders are advised that non- compliance will result in a machine being excluded from the meeting until a non-compliant part is replaced or completely if not on the approved list. 6. ELIGIBILITY: All machines for Historic Racing are to be eligible in accordance with MOM’s. Any machine found ineligible will forfeit any award and may be excluded from the meeting. It is the entrant’s/rider’s responsibility to ensure their machine is eligible for Australian Motorcycle Historic Racing. Machines must be eligible for historic competition and endorsed by the eligibility scrutineer. Entrants should come prepared with original documents to prove eligibility of major components, copies of documents will not be accepted. Approval at previous events does not automatically guarantee acceptance of eligibility. 7. ELECTRONIC AMB TRANSPONDER TIMING : Timing is computerised and you are required to fit a transponder to all machines entered for the meeting. 8. RIDERS’ BRIEFING: Will be a general briefing held at 8.00am on Sunday and is compulsory. Every rider must attend and sign on in person. Nonattendance could result in a monetary fine and/or exclusion from the meeting. The briefing will take place at the BASE of the Control Tower. 9. FUEL: Fuel is now available at the circuit with self-service Credit Card operated pumps. Fuel used in all events at this meeting must be in accordance with MOM’s requirements: i.e. Unless machines are P2, P3, P4 solos and P5 sidecars that may use Methanol or AV Gas, Unleaded fuel that is no more than 100 RON MUST be used. E85 or similar additives are totally banned. 10.
