:o Ooo why we gotta do that then ?

On the entries it says we have to do a parc ferme on Sat - 30 mins.

Prolly so they can check all bikes are as they should be?

News to me, when is this supposed to be happening, after the race? I wonder who is supposed to be doing the checking?

I am already going to have to leave home at 06.00 on the 25th, I would like to get home at a reasonable time.

Parc ferme is also standard for any endurance race says AK . Often to make sure nothing has been incorrectly done during all the changes within the race, or if any objections are made

Also, its in the ACU rules too - so can be applied whenever they like:)

Maybe they can feel a protest coming on or maybe they think its not going to be a issue as they expect all our bikes to shake themselves to bits in a 30 minute race.
Still I'm happy to put mine in Parc Ferme to be checked for weight, cc, tyres etc.

what is parc ferme? Does it mean that they keep all bikes 30mn before the race to check we don't put some nitromethanol in the tank?

Funny thing is that we are not running an endurance race and we do not do this at New Era meetings.

If someone wants to put in a protest they pays their money and I will have to then go round and get the bike checked, as I will be on my own that day.

I'm happy for any checks whatsoever - but there's no smoking in the pit lane and i'm sure i'll be in need of a puff or 2 after 30mins around Snetterton! :o

That's an odd question from a Frenchman!

After the race, and it's just like an area where once you've dropped the bike off you have to leave it there to be checked over, should somebody so wish.

Will they give it a wash for me? That would be nice.

I'm more worried about mine catching fire after a 30 min race!

ChrisBushell
16-Jun-2005, 14:55
I suppose that we could always ask Lin to have a fag over that way, perhaps you need to make sure that the bikes are insured!

Reckon they will all be a tad warm after 30 mins :o

Exactly.

I got off singing "My nuts roasting on this open fire!" after a Snetterton trackday :o

Doubt if they would last long if you could see where I live, besides a little rain never hurt anyone especially if they're on a 583

I may as well be on a 53 if it rains :( it's bad enough in the dry - i'm a scaredy cat in the wet :sniff:
Can someone please go around to Skids house and tape him up firmly with duct tape so he can't do a rain dance please?

a Parc Ferme, is where the bike AND the rider are gated for the designated time after the race.
Paddock stands can be brought in, but NOTHING must be touched on the bike.

Usually all just stand about nattering till time out is given:)

its nothing out of the ordinary tho.

They had us in the 2003 Proddy 1000 TT, they wheeled my bike away from Parc Ferme, yes it was a 600 that had just finished 25th, caught in the act and excluded from the results.

Don't expect anyone to rebuild it for you :o

Yep I'm known for entering a undersized engine.
Wouldn't mind having my bike weighed see to see how over weight it is.

Could start checking for bolts that aren't equal to or exceed the strength of the standard fastener it is replacing. And as Ti is also ruled out, the rule bars alloy fittings, so I suspect most bikes will be over weight.

So how many would a complete check catch. :devil:

I seem to be picking up some hints that some of the bikes might not be within the rules here. I would remind people that if they have suspicions then they should lodge a formal protest and I will get my camping chair out and watch the owner strip it as far as I think necessary whilst drinking a nice cold beer.

The 25th is going to be a very long day for me and I am sure that I will be well aggravated by about 15.00, so a nice bit of entertainment would go down nicely. Then again we could start the strip down at 16.45 with the race due to start at 17.20, that sounds like a ripping wheeze!

Any one for a glass of Pimms?
