TIMING

REGULARITY PARADE – Maximum field of 40 bikes on the grid.

The parade is to allow non-racing members, or members with a parade bike the opportunity of up to 4 sessions on the race track. Entrants can ride either a racing machine which could be loaned for the event by a race entrant, or a suitable road machine. All machines in the parade must be presented for safety inspection, though they need not be fully race prepared.

A minimum of one clearly legible number plate facing forward in the headlamp area is required.  If there is an issue with the nominated bike number you will contacted. Leather clothing, back protector, chest protector and an approved helmet must be worn for safety reasons. Transponders are now mandatory and must be fitted to the bike while on circuit.  Remember that these events are not races and unsuitable riding will result in exclusion. There is no prize for being the fastest, only for having the most consistent lap times. These events will suit any club member who is not competing in race events, or a racer wishing to ride a machine that he has not entered into the races. The parades are run under the general MNZ rules and require a competition licence. Facility to obtain a one event licence is detailed on the payment summary form. Please note that this event is open to solo machines only.

ENTERING & EXITING, PIT LANE

Entry to the Pit Lane is on the RH side of the straight immediately after the back straight hairpin. Competitors must move to the far right of the circuit and reduce speed and signal their intentions to leave the track without impeding other competitors in the process. Once committed to entering Pit lane and a competitor has crossed to the inside of the entry blend lines that competitor MUST enter Pit Lane.

For second and subsequent infringements the machine will be black flagged from the race or practice without further warning. Exceeding 98dB(A): The machine will be black flagged from the race or practice without warning. If circumstances don’t allow the machine to be black flagged, the competitor may be excluded from the results of that practice or race. During the course of the event the club will endeavour to post lists of machines and their noise readings to assist competitors efforts in complying with these limits.
