Dev,
Is any of that actually real world and applicable by WTC? Or are we just basically talking the good talk, but nothing really will ever come of it?
I realize it'll mostly change when people simply stop showing up to race, but without that happening you think any of your solutions could ever be implemented? Or are we just dreaming out loud?
1st point: Would wave starts create more "course" time, and therofore have the race to be run later/earlier, and thus create more costs (road closures, police/med. people)?
2nd pt: I'm guessing the quiet scooters would cost more: Meaning higher costs for race, higher costs for racers?
3rd pt: More cameras=Need more money for the race organization= Higher race fees for racers?
4th pt: Actually a great penalty. It more than likely will slow the drafting down, just because people dont wnat the penalty. People dont mind the penalty now, because it's almost still postive net gain. A penalty of that magnittude would atleast slow/ or be a severe enough penalty to actually penalize people who draft.
I'm not trying to argue, just seeing what are actual possible real world solutions. If we want to implement some of these policies, it seems racers have to accept the higher race fees more than likely.
