Oil catchment

[yhatspants]

Pop's remember the big windle at mallory? and it chucked all it's gear box oil out over the platform coz it was to full! how do you deal with that apart from putting less in? and i remember when they sent outfits out to clean up the cement dust
after solos blew there guts up! but i do agree catchment trays of any type will be a must for all safty first with out going to extreams

The photo of the solo with coffee cups of oil. The bike had a problem during warm up to the race, he pulled in and started to strip his bike realising his weekend was over, hence the cups catching oil. No oil lost in the pits or on track.

And yes he IS a very good passenger who rides regularly through out the season.

Jason. I will name the passenger/velecette rider when we see you at Lydden. At Anglesey years ago the Cooper Cars spilt Oil/Methonol on the track and the SIDECARS were called early to spread the Cement dust as stated before.

I am sorry to jump to the wrong conclusion but there were several solos with oil dripping from them. I only took a photo of the worst one which turned out to be a totally innocent

I fitted my new tray last night. £15 on the Ali and about 1.5 hrs to bend and fit.

No excuse for not doing it.

If anybody knows of teams that don't use forums please pass the message on that they should be doing this.
