don't get me wrong, i think our crew does an awesome job cleaning up oil. however, i don't want to take the time off work for travel and racing and spend the money on bikes and race fees to wipe out first thing in the morning because of oil from someone who didn't have case covers. let alone get hurt or destroy a bike. i am from the school of thought that if you are not willing to put it in the dumpster at the end of the weekend, then you shouldn't be racing it but i don't want to throw a bike away over something as "relatively" inexpensive as case covers

i know one person who drove out of state to race in a club that didn't require case covers, and he wiped out because of a oil spot that was not cleaned up. that can be a long drive back home

trust me the first time your weekend changes because of something out of your control, it will change your opinion of "i dont see what the big deal is". at the end of the day, this isn't a "cheap" sport. i believe it can be done less expensively but bike prep and safety gear is important to not only you but whoever is on the track with you.

i am still not opposed to the idea, and i know sunday at 4 isn't the best time, but i am just trying to point out that other people's weekend can be effected by putting street bikes on the track during a race weekend
