I'm kind of confused over this whole thread.
I have raced all over Canada and the eastern states,,uhmmm,, flags are different EVERYwhere! That is one of the importance of the riders meeting. To find out what the local rules are.
You may not like them or they may not make sense,, but that's life,,they rent it they make the rules.Many of the rules pertain to how the paramedics are governed.
Most trackday organizers could really care less if your bike meets tech and you wish to kill yourself. They really care about the other people you may take with you!
The best set up is if you miss riders meeting you miss a session,,,,,DONE. If you screw up something that was covered at riders meeting you miss a session. Becasue you need to understand you could have or casued harm to someone else.
Saddly the organizers have to be hard line. If they allow one person to slide through then they must do the same for another and another.
In my opinion if tech caught something that you neglected,, shake the guys hand and say thank you!
Once you do a few days then you know what to expect with different track day providers. But if they DON"T give a crap,,,then don"t go back!
Casue any that have been around know when things go bad,,,,,and you or someone else is in a hospital bed,,,saying sorry just doesn"t cut it!
