I was not aware that race control were the ones scoring endurance and applying points penalties, that's the first I've ever heard of that and frankly I find it hard to believe they made the decision to deduct 4 laps on their own if they did in fact make that decision.
Also I am well aware that both wheelies and burnouts are technically against the rules.
However, many, many times have both been done visibly with no penalty being given.
What is the definition of a wheelie on track? Because if we are going to give penalties for power wheelies, they should be given to all riders lifting a wheel. How many times are there wheelies on a start or coming out of a turn? Why are they not penalized?
If we are going to enforce rules, they need to be enforced on all riders at all times.
I also find it highly unlikely that race control were the ones that spotted literally a 5 second burnout under a tent.
The only other time I have seen a rider penalized for a burnout was when a rider stopped after turn 1 at mosport and did a huge burnout on a live track. That was indeed very irresponsable.
If were going to enforce rules, they need to be enforced consistantly.
Also, we could not keep the wheel down in practice while shaking out the bike, and were never given any warning at all, nor were we advised after the race that we had done anything wrong.
