Robbo et al,
It seems Metro's good club (KOCC) has two sets of rules. Noted by several people on Australia day racing at KOCC was the delaying tactics for one psuedo sponsor of the club, as his plane was late from Melbourne due to fog. I am then reliably informed (thank you C grader XY123 (code)) that this same person, having arrived late and missed the A grade start, proceeded to ride down the finish straight the wrong way until he met A grade. This same rider has been disqualified by KOCC for taking pace from vehicles in races at the Gang. It would seem some have a short memory!! What The Ferret then saw with his own eyes, defied any law I have read. This individual proceeded to swap off turns and engage in the race, something you cannot do if you do not go the distance. That is..........unless you are a psuedo sponsor of KOCC!!
So, next time KOCC publish a 9am start on a public holiday, or a 2.30pm start on a Saturday, just remember, that if a club sponsor suggests they may be late, you won't be starting at the advertised time. If this happened at HD, that punter would be invited to help take places at the finish line. They would get a lesson in the bargain. Shalom
Your punctual friend
The Ferret
