Lemans start at Shannonville

[MGill]

Dave, I like the idea of Lemans start.
Let's try it!

[Biketech101]

I'm good with it too! Team Dave Powell and Dale Minnett combined age of 124 years! ( Might need a few steps head start! )

[Michael Vinten]

While the idea will certainly be fun to watch, I see potential problems when we file onto the track with moving rigs at different speeds, so I am not in favour.

[gary holden]

I'd prefer a gridded start,but eliminate the empty row between the rows of rigs in each class.Only keep an empty row between each class.

[SMcFadden]

I am neutral. If you forced me to vote, I would go with whatever my driver says.

[Steve Humphrey]

I can run, and we need all the help we can get off the starts. I'm in as long as the exec ok's the process.

[Dave M]

Thanks to all who responded on this. It seems to only have mediocre support at best so maybe we can revisit it when sidecar racing becomes too boring

[commando]

I don't think race control would allow this to happen. Having moving obstacles on a hot track (not temperature) while sidecars are frantically roaring off the line seems to me to be an unnecessary danger.
A risk vs. benefit analysis would deem this unsafe.
Why do I have to be the old fun ruining fuddyduddy?

I'm just saying, this would make Dean or Chris drop a steamer!

[Ashton Bond]

It would! But, there's nothing explicitly forbidding it. On a personal level I think it's a fun idea, but on a CC level I really don't like hearing about bad knees and bikes that don't idle... I have to admit it makes me nervous too, just not "Steamer Nervous".

[Andy#60]

My bike doesn't idle ( no idle circuit) so it would have to be started which it doesn't like to do lol. And getting mounted onto our sidecar is not a quick process. I'd like to carry on with the normal gridding procedure.

[Cor-Blimey]

I agree with Andy .... it's a nightmare finding neutral with our Z1 engine ..

Sounds like you may need to take a look at the shift star on the end of the shift drum.... RZ350s and Banshees have this issue too. You can google Banshee shift start mod.
