AFM Round 1 - Tech on Friday afternoon?

[etruscan]

Hey all. Could someone tell me if there will be tech (for belly pan, helmet, leathers, etc) on Friday afternoon of Round 1? It's pretty convenient to get that stuff taken care of before the weekend really starts. Thank you.

There will be at least a few of us there with gear and belly pan stickers Friday afternoon. Full tech will open Saturday morning as usual.

What's the belly pan tech procedure? Just show up with a solid piece with no holes in it and it's good?

More or less...the common brands of race bodywork all comply so it's simply a quick review and we'll apply a season long sticker on your bike (we don't need to see the belly pan again unless you have a incident). Any 'handmade' variations of traditional bodywork (turkey pans for instance) are discouraged but will be reviewed on a case by case basis with final suitability determined by the chief tech (Paul).

Thanks. No idea who made my bodywork but it's mass produced stuff. Certainly isn't pretty but it does the job.

Cool cool. I will try to find you guys Friday afternoon. $20 fee or? Thanks.

No fee for belly pan or gear stickers, just makes life easier Saturday am...but we do take tips in the form of fresh IPA...or at least I do ;-)
