haha assuming that is it la... but oso want to know any prize money or they just take money n give plastic trophies from some bird singing contest... not that i can earn the money tho, but others who might be able to would want to know better.

[asidsoul]

No cash money, also will play one. You know right?

[Raptor]

No cash money, also will play one. You know right?

 

Going in for the fun and excitement of it all.

[Tortise]

not all tho... IMO no cash money is ok, but at least give decent trophies/ prizes... whilst we're racing for the sport, if organiser organising purely for profit oso no fair.

[Faiz Gonzalez]

but its ok since its juz a thing we lyk to do cuz we have a passion for bikes n we like d thrill in racing.. its juz a hobby to some of us bro.. even win get ice cream oni i think theres still b riders participating.. correct me if im wrong.. hahakZ.. peace..

i've got my thrill in racing already, now just lying low spend money on my family is much better than racing without a cause. this is the same reason some riders out there are not participating and we no longer see things the way you do anymore... and if profit minded organisers can forgo the basic necessity of a good prize, they can also forgo other issues like safety. slowly, as we have seen, the entry numbers will drop...

 

anyway... whatever it is there is just 1 organiser so whatever rules they have we must follow or make do with it... or become spectator like me

You are right. Trophy or money is not the issue to some. I race coz I just love the thrill of speed and competition. To me a riding on a track is a personal challenge.. am racing against myself.. pushing my personal limits.. so winning or losing does not mean anything to me except that its a bonus if I finish on the podium.

 

Look at those idiots who race on the public roads... what do they stand to win? A chance to lose their licence or their lives only yet they still race.

 

So to say that without big prize money or man sized trophies the number of participants will drop.... I kinda want to disagree there.

 

Just my humble opinion... peace.

[Faiz Gonzalez]

yepz yepz totally agree wit raptor.. n furthermore if most people race for d price money then y is there still so many riders participating in round 1 2 n 3.. *winkZ* n y do many still go for PG trackday.. in my opinion its because they enjoy doin wat they r doin tats y they still go even if they cud have won only a small trophy.. and u'll feel proud n felt as if u have achieve somethin in life even juz to get a small trophy.. hahakZ..

Also if rider won make it for sat free practise & Qualifyin..Due to another event

Will the rider be penalised??

 

If I recall correctly the last time I saw Ryuta starting from the back of the grid on race day coz he did not take part in the qualifying coz he was at Sepang the day before.

 

And he still managed to claw all the way up to 2nd before his bike comitted harakiri on itself.
