How are wet/dry races going to work?? Quick-change pit stops? Restart the race?

He probably has a better handle on the pulse of the fans than Carmelo.

dunno. derby is probably busy packing but i'm sure in about 12 seconds he can still find the right page in the WSBK rule book about how they're handling this now...

Well, why did they red flag the first WSBK race at Assen? Because of the pile-up, b/c of liquid on track or b/c of the rain? I never figured it out.

With the current brake configuration, they could quick-change rear wheels.
But the carbon front brakes require the rotors and pads stay married... so no Q/C there.

Finally, they admit it's going to be NASCAR on two wheels.

If that's true, at least there will be some real racing.

the ONE change that will give it a better feel is losing the bore restriction.
Ducati has said it wanted to do a twin for it's bike. Why not let them!

I've seen quick disconnects for the brakes on the front....so if they have a set of the married pads set up on calipers all ready to go, it could be done....that I thought in the rain, they sometimes don't use the carbon...I could be mistaken on the last bit though...

They don't use carbon in the rain.
They don't stay hot enough.

Aprilia blames ever-changing rules for its recent absence in MotoGP as a manufacturer
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100159
Is that the real reason? Or just a convenient excuse for a very small manufacturer without a large racing budget?
