I would rather not get dragged in to Scrutineering for a couple of hours when its really busy, but when you get a call a couple of days before saying that there would only be one scrutineer and could I help out, its hard to say NO.
Like wise the upcoming Oulton meeting, I was asked at Snetterton if I could help out there, as again only one scrutineer is available for Friday Lunchtime. Now how do I fit that in with morning practice and afternoon timed qualifying.

At Snetterton we had 5 Scrutineers doing the bikes over a 2 hour period, so basically 10 man hours to get through around 150 bikes, so Oulton should be fun if you allow an average of 4 minutes a bike plus riding gear on top of that

As you say it's gonna be intresting checking all those bikes. If scrutineering was available form Friday morning it my ease the problem as not everyone will be doing the half test day (me). Or you quailfy without being checked?

I should think Bernie will spend the Friday morning traveling from the East side of the country. As you say it would only be those not doing the test day that could be checked
As for going out for Qualifying without been checked would void the ACU insurance cover should there be an incident, just not worth the risk by either the promoters or the riders.
