it really does depent on the tracks procedure. At avon park they do give the cars a quick look over (check the battery is bolted down, & nothing going to fly around the cabin if you do crash) before you can race, while at santa pod the first time they see the cars is when you line up at the start, all you have to do is produce a driving license to race

I was actually there and seen you run mate

Was very impressed, my green 850 was parked over on the left next to the queue's to get onto the strip..

Would have been ALOT happier if my mini was running but managed to rip the clutch to bits last weekend running it with too much power

You going to the classic retro run at santa pod later on this year???
