Just What Does NESBA’s “Crash Assurance” Actually Mean?

FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: Thanks go out to Jeff Kufalk for providing me with a great lead-in to explaining one of our member benefits: Crash Assurance. If a NESBA member has the misfortune of going on an agricultural expedition prior to lunch at one of our events, and they cannot continue on for the remainder of the day, they are given a 50% credit for their event fee. If, by chance, they have registered for a multi-day event the member will receive 100% credit for each subsequent day they cannot ride (Crash on a Saturday and you are also registered for Sunday? You will get a 100% credit for Sunday in addition to any Saturday credit.) We know if you crash that not losing your event fee may be a small consolation, however we thought it would be another nice way to give back to our increasing member base.

Rain Affects Second Day Of SC Caracchi Ducati Test At Valencia

RAIN AND COLD WEATHER FOR SCUDERIA SC’s TEST AT VALENCIA (Valencia 2006, January 7) Atrocious weather conditions for the second day test for Scuderia SC Caracchi on Ricardo Tormo circuit at Valencia: rain and cold, just 9°C the air temperature and more cold on the track didn’t allow to cover all the scheduled work, also because the tyres available for the team in this test hadn’t the right characteristics for today’s track conditions. Roberto Rolfo went on the work focused to know better his new machine and, despite the weather difficulties, looks to be satisfied for his job. “Cold and rain didn’t allow us to work a lot today.” commented Roby at the end of the day. “I’ve been able to complete only 15 laps, but I’m quite happy for the work done. I like both the team as the working method they use. Looking at today the tyres were too hard for the track conditions, so we focused our job for a better knowledge of the bike, most for the handling that gave me a positive sensation either in the yesterday test as well today on the wet track. Of course it’s a bike quite different of a MotoGP, the engine and all the machine, and I’ll have still to work for a better know the 999RS, but the first approach is with no doubt positive.” Also in Supersport Josh Brookes and Luka Nedog had to fight with the tyres not good for the Spanish track conditions, and both crashed today, but Stefano Caracchi is however happy of today’s test. “In this three-day test where everything is new for our riders, the bike, the tyres and for the couple of 749R the track too, most important is to get confidence with the new machine. I know that everyone has done it in the best way. The crashes of Brookes and Nedog were quite natural in wet conditions and hard tyres, but I’ve see that Brookes showed to be a first class rider. Nedog will need a longer apprenticeship time, looking is poor experience, but I’m confident in his possibilities. He needs only time.”
