Hi Oldfart, hope your 2012 has begun well, at 43 years young and having left bits of myself behind at all sorts of race tracks over the last 26 years I am all for both common sense AND going home in one piece, just that i am getting jack of the woodchuck manual growing rules every year to cater either for people that lack common sense or have a personal barrow to push . . . This is probably a case of the former.
Stooooooopid example but I can see someone questioning the padding density or thickness. This shit does go on.
In my opinion the MA woodchuck manual needs an "All Disciplines" chapter for off road machinery. As common sense says that any off roader be it MX, SX, Enduro, Dirt Track, trials, modern, vintage or something in between should have a crossbar pad (or similar). I feel that it would be a smart thing to standardise saftey based rules across all classes and eras.
A 1977 YZ250D built to the rule book is not eligible for the evo class
Ladies and Gentlemen, I dont really give 2.635 flying rats bums about this rule in itself, I am simply using this little addition to the rule book as a case in point. I just think the application of a whole lot of "uncommon" commons sense rather than just a bit of common sense scatter around here and there is the way to go...
The older i get the simpler i seem to like things
Cheers all
