See you there leigh.

[Legend]

how do we ever hope to make ps/b a national bracket. 9.0 qld
9.5 nsw

Its a daylight saving thing !!!!!!

[REVIT13]

a national bracket can still happen but for those that have watched this class start up from the beginning will know that it is being trialled at willowbank as a class for there track season not as an andra national class. other special events have adopted the class like benarby all bike meet. wsid has copied the format other than the index. maybe the sport compact can run off a 9.00 index and show wsid a big turnout. qlders would most likely travel for one of these events.

reading a older rapid magazine there was comments on the wsid street/sports bike scene that they struggled to get good numbers for the sport compact fields. the result being 2 fields instead of 3. outlaw and sports bike. 9.5 is not set forever but it will give many the time to get there bikes sorted as 9.0 is no easy target. its early days and things should improve or u can always race the barred bikes on dyo or step up to group 2 with higher fees.


i'd rather race than not at all. more fun that way.

I would becarefull running 9s in a 9.5 event, I would check with someone in charge first or you may find yourself going home earlier that you think, check on 2 step launch & seat padding while you are at it also just to make sure, anyone using 2 step in Qld in p/s, no track points of prizes so I guess it dosen't really matter

[lee8sec]

The only 3 entered so far can run under 9.5.
Would be nice if WSID posted the rules for the class. If its a grp4 class a breakout is just a loss. Leigh

Pro Street Bike (PS/B)
Due to the level of interest expressed among local racers, Western Sydney Dragway is set to welcome a
new Group 4 Bracket for motorcycle competitors. Based along similar lines to that of the popular Willowbank
Raceway model, initiated by Peter Everett, Pro Street Bike will be introduced to WSID Bracket Meetings at
the first event of the new season on Saturday, August 1, 2009.
Initially, while we assess the level of competition and its local popularity, Pro Street Bike will be run on a
Fixed Index of 9.50-seconds and on a PRO tree. The Bracket will be run as a Chicago Shootout when 16
bikes or less are entered. Where more than 16 bikes are entered, we will run Heads-up Eliminations.
During its introductory stage, Pro Street Bike will not be included in the WSID Track Championship Series
for 2009–2010. Competitors will run for trophies only during this season while we assess the possibility of its
inclusion for the following seasonâ€s championship series. That decision will depend on the ongoing level of
racer support for the Bracket throughout its introductory period.
Competitors cannot cross-enter two Brackets with one motorcycle (ANDRA General Regulations 5.9). Any
competitor who wishes to enter Modified Bike and Pro Street Bike may do so but must enter two separate
bikes under separate entry forms and pay two separate entry fees. The event schedule will be structured so
that those riders who choose to enter both Brackets on separate bikes will have adequate time to join the
staging lanes ahead of their qualifying and elimination rounds.
The rules for the Bracket are as follows:
• No wheelie bars
• No nitromethane fuel
• No mechanical or electronic engine delay devices permitted
• All bikes and riders must comply fully with ANDRA rules and regulations. Refer ANDRA Licence and
personal safety requirements for all riders quicker than 10.50-seconds.
Chicago Shootout race format
Competitors in a Chicago Shootout will qualify as normal over two or three rounds of qualifying as per the
event schedule. In racing each competitor will race three times against a different racer.
• A win will receive two (2) points
• A loss will receive one (1) point
• A no-show receives zero (0) points
• The two competitors with the most points after three rounds of racing will contest the final.
Chicago Shootout contingencies
• In the event of an uneven field the three top qualifiers over the 9.50 index will be awarded bye
runs.
• In the event of a scheduled bye run, or a solo run where an opponent has broken, a rider must
complete a pass representative of the bikeâ€s previous performance for win points to be awarded.
• In the event of both riders going under 9.50 in a single race, the rider closest to 9.50 in that race
will be awarded the win for that round.
• If more than two riders are on maximum points after three rounds of racing the two riders closest
to 9.50 over the index, in the last round of racing, will contest the final.
• If a competitor has to withdraw from racing during race rounds they must immediately notify the
Bracket Marshal. If you have withdrawn you cannot run any further rounds of racing.
Thank you for your support of WSID and my best wishes for a safe, exciting and rewarding racing season.

That's an interesting one, open to interpretation.

This rule is the same for OSB, if you have 3 bikes that have equal wins in a round robin the way to find the 2 that will face up in the final is to count back to their previous rounds.

lets say:
bike1 ran 9.01 for his win,
bike2 ran 9.02 for his win,
and bike3 just took the green and backed out,

the two that will race the final are bike1 and bike2, as bike3 has a no result.

Thats how it works in round robin.

The motto is go hard all the time!

Certainly agree with that motto, unless you are wearing tight shorts.

But as far as the rule, wouldnt the situation you are talking about be covered by this other rule:

• If more than two riders are on maximum points after three rounds of racing the two riders closest to 9.50 over the index, in the last round of racing, will contest the final.

The rule I quoted before doesnt say "close to index" etc, it says "a pass representative of the bikeâ€s previous performance"

Im not sure exactly what that means. Like, HOW representative, and who judges it.

Yep your right Dave, (must admit, didn't read through all the rules, blue was a bit hard on the eyes), I'd say it depends on your relationship with the adjudicator, if your friends then take the green, if not better run a 9.500. you got to remember one thing thou, this is WSID.....
