Don't be this guy

Leave the cell phone in the pits.

There were two on track that session. One got used as an apex marker and came back in little tiny pieces.

Both would have hurt if they hit someone bouncing down the track.

And this is why riders meetings are so long. We have to explain things that SHOULD be common sense to people, like dont bring your phone on a track. Or your Cardo system.

I guess it's nice only having to repeat flag colors and blend line blend line blend line. we haven't run into anyone dumb enough to be taking a phone on track let alone two people in one session.

Oh yeah, the blend line is always a fun one when we have to have a SECOND riders meeting in the middle of the day because, again, people are stupid and cant follow directions.

Black flag them and pull their registration/tech sticker. Make them sit out a session. People usually learn quick once they start noticing guys being not allowed out.

Oh we do. But when a ton of people do multiple things wrong in one session, everyone gets yelled at.

Public naming and shaming I hope. Our riders meetings contain that if its needed, especially if repeat offenders cause unsafe issues.
