If you have signed up for DD then you have agreed to comply with the rules one of which is
Compliance Control
At the end of the race, the DSC Race Committee can request that all classified motorcycles are placed in a parc-fermé for a period of at least 30 minutes.
Any motorcycle can be checked for compliance with these rules, and any other technical requirement, if requested by a representative of the DSC Race Committee
So if a check on the bikes power to see if it complies with the bhp limit will require a dynorun
Now if a race bike can't withstand a dyno run I do wonder if it should be out there on the race track |
Just playing devils advocate, asking the question....as I am fairly sure that "IF" the worst happened liability would almost certainly fall on the rules makers.....DSC.
Perhaps the race committee should check it out....there are many cases of....Oh! it will never happen. Then it does and......**it happens.
It may mean a small extra insurance cost, but better that then a bigger legal bill.
Here in Warrington all taxis are required to run on a rolling road at a specific revs' to measure both exhaust noise and emmissions. (Compliance Control)
A Mercedes diesel blew up "on test" The Transport licencing dept. denied all liability.....which eventually cost them over £25,000. Repairs and loss of earning for the owner driver of the Merc'.
