here's one from early in the first day of Sheep following me then Red Rider following me and not being able to power past me on the straight. Guess I got a weight advantage on him

6 hours worth of converting and editing but here goes..
I believe I read 23 mph riding through the upper paddock and 28 going down the access road. Either you were grossly speeding through the pits or your speedometer is waaay off.
10 mph limit anywhere in the paddock.
Now in stereo Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
Engineers say "Not so fast."
and Seamus is awesome

I think we came to the conclusion my speedometer is off.. at least a slow speeds. Plus I was running late for my group

So poor planning on your part means you can .....
Hmmm no shoveling smiley
10MPH is so you don't ram anyone or anything, WERA can fine you. Many orgs will warn you then toss you (not enough enforce it even marginally though). I think Abtech skins you and hangs the carcass as a warning to others

We pike and hang at the front gate usually . . .
On a more serious note (and you as a father should get this one): At a WERA National several years ago, one of the riders was late for his hot lap and went through the paddock at about 30 mph only to have my daughter step directly into his path while walking between the cars to the tech shed. Fortunately she was able to dodge this assclown before he ran her down. After the session, he came to my garage and made the fatal mistake of yelling at me to keep my daughter out of the paddock before the races.
He permanently lost his racing license and is no longer allowed to run at Grattan. He was lucky to leave the track in one piece after about 50 riders (including myself) let him know who was at fault (understatement).

here's another one from monday with a bunch of people that I didn't know were behind me.
got a good few laps with one guy right there behind me. not sure who it was, #11, black and red bike, blue leathers just like mine, red helmet. There's also DaveF before his patented pass over the hump into 5 move, Evl Twn, a bit of RR Mike, Richard, and one of the Wera guys before they all passed me in a matter of a few turns. And finally Doug passes me at the end.
edit: I gotta work on it and get it under the 100 meg limit
edit edit: ok mp4 format makes it plenty small enough.

I witnessed an ass chewing of epic proportions once, because of a rider that sped through the pits to get out on the track for a practice session. Once on the track, they immediately black flagged him at the start stand! He came off at T3 and was met at the start stand. There he recieved his chewing until the session was over! He was watched for the rest of the day. It is a serious matter whether a race weekend or track day. Safety first, is both on and off the track...
Video goes blank (but the audio keeps playing) about half way through. At least for me...
I know.. In movie maker it divides the movie into several clips. I just dragged down a few clips and added the song without spending time editing it together. I think he’ll get the point though
