Why do riders have to go into the pits after they crash...even if their bikes run fine?!
![]() Was this an issue before...or just another stupid change DMG has forced upon AMA? |

When I raced WERA you had to re-tech the bike if the handle bar hits the ground. It is a safety thing to make sure you are not leaking something that will crash someone else, or decide to continue on an unsafe machine. It is a way for for a new set of eyes to look things over.

Yeah...I get the idea too. Just wondering if it was actually a problem before.

In a wet race least year a guy went down on the warm up lap. He picked up the bike, gridded and went on to a podium finish. A buddy of mine went down at Daytona and still managed a top 15. |

Daytona is a long race. Crash in a sprint race and you may as well pack it in.

Yeah, I mean except for maybe a couple of WERA racers over the years, I'm sure the rest aren't AMA caliber. I mean who's even heard of any WERA racers except for maybe Kevin Schwantz or Scott Russell or Kurt Hall or Trey Batey or Grant Lopez or Nicky & Tommy Hayden or Rich Oliver or .. well, the rest of a very long list. ![]() |
