thehermanator Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Yesterday at Babba's lodge a mate of mine bonked and did not finish his race, according to the time keepers he finished the race in 2 hours - a respectable time I might add - so I am confused Does this mean that someone who actually finished the race was never registered to finish? And how reliable is the timekeeping then if this happened.
Guest Agteros Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 He went past the timing station after shortcutting it to the start/end area? Oh, and I've found the timing at Babbas to be reasonably accurate
Tumbleweed Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 happened to a mate of mine during a race at a fort to fort one year. they pitched up at his shop to give him prize money. wasn't his fault. he told the marshalls that he was abandoning, and was steered towards the finish line and crossed the timing mat.
thehermanator Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 No, the sweeper vehicle found him still on the trail, he never made it to the finish
scotty Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 If you cut it short or enter the long but ride short without changing just dont go over the finish mat.
thehermanator Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 He never finished.... we cut the chip off from his bike and gave it to the marshal - by then he was already registered as finished.
Dirty Twin Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Same happened to a yesterday. He finished in the top 10 and was given a DNF

thehermanator Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 We did yes - and they insisted that he finished so someone out there did not finish I have the full list of peole and their times, so assume its one of the guys who did not "finish" the race on this list.
