Worst ever Sepang Drag battle 2014

[shark79]

First round of the sepang drag battle 2014 was a big shame in terms of way forward in the our local Motorsport scene, reason?
1. The first heat started at 1am
2. Due to tech glitch stop watch was used for timing
3.Race should had been canceled due to wet track and all money should have been refunded
4. Sanctioned by AAM but safety aspects were totally neglected ,at the second drivers briefing the question of safety was brought up due to a wet track but drivers were dared to put their life's in danger and continue to race

There were many more shortcomings even after years of organizing and no one seems to be bothered

Wah.. 1am?

 

[4gbanger]

stopwatch? really?

 

[mADmAN]

some of the reasons why i havent attended SDB in many many years... not bothered and it isnt as exciting as it used to be when they first started.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Wah.. 1am?

But our parody I think we do need to use stopwatch though. Might need a few to mark the time for each car. Gonna be a real close battle.

1am? what a joke!

There were team from north and south and some of them were there as early as 4pm, one can imagine how tired they were .
Yes, there were JPJ roadblock once you exit Sepang, i feel people just want to have a good time and drive their cars to sepang. Suprisingly seldom or no present of JPJ roadblocks during other motorsport events.
Scrutineering of Drag cars were tight for a local grassroot event but yet participants are allowed to DRAG on a wet track.

Cause that's your f**king problem? Your life? No way in hell I'm going to give you the money back. Cause no way in hell Sepang will give the organizer the money back.

hahahaha. Malaysia boleh.

That's why you see support for TTA is growing, because its organized by professionals. All this AAM sanctioned crap, for show only lah.

EDIT: Thanks for sharing.

one of the reason of late start also due to rain/really2 wet track....

one thing i'm really sure..if cancel, sure all competitor mad liao....so have to proceed anyway....its just i felt that they should atleast using some leaf blower to push the water away from the strip..so that it would be better than waiting till morning for the track to dry-up naturally

Reason for late start ....was because timing tech glitch ..christmas tree lights glitch untill race end ( years and years and the same issues)

the race did go on even when the track was still wet..(1am, first heat)

one way to solve the wet track issue is to to allow free runs i mean if they are dead set on not cancelling ...at least it will help dry up the the track faster.
