Signing on Procedure:
Remember your driving licence and cash for signing on.
- Walk over to the signing on office at the base of the tower.
- Present your driving licence and signing on fee to the staff in the signing on office.
- Collect your wristband.
- You may now move your bike over to the fire-up lane to join the back of the RWYB queue.
On Track Procedure:
If you haven't done RWYB before, here's what you have to do:
- Attempt a burnout in the water patch under the tower when the start line is clear of the previous pairing. This will help warm and clean your tyres.
- Roll up to the start line slowly when the starter beckons you forward. Try and stay roughly level with your opponent.
- As your front wheel reach the start line, a pair of orange bulbs will light on your side of the starting "tree" This means you are "pre-staged" and you are just inches away from being in the right position.
- Roll forward a fraction more, and another pair of orange bulbs will light below the first pair. This means that you are in the right starting position.
- When both you and your opponent have all staging lights lit, you are ready to go, so lift you engine revs, and get ready to drop the clutch.the starting tree lights will flash orange and then immediately green. Now is the time to GO! GO! GO!
- Don't worry if you mess it up- the starting official will help you do the right thing. keep an eye on him for direction.
- You can collect your timing slip from the signing on office. There is no charge for collecting your print-outs.
- Once you have completed your runs, please return to your campsite or parking spot.
Bike Preparation & Safety:
- Check tyre pressures and tyre condition
- Check oil level
- Check coolant level
- Check brakes are working properly
- Warm engine up to the "normal" temperature, usually 70-100 degrees C.
- Check exhaust for smoke:
• White smoke is steam, and indicates a cold engine, but no problems
• Blue smoke is burning oil and indicates engine problems
• Black smoke is carbon soot, and indicates the engine is running rich. Adjust carbs and clean air filter.
