curious of other peoples thoughts on this. What has been the norm for fuel penalties in the past?

I've seen 2 other fuel penalties since spec fuel was introduced. One was a DQ, the other was no action.
I have no first hand knowledge.
I only have my opinion based on speculation.
I believe it's all politics.
The enforcement is applied inconsistently.
How many fuel tests that fail we have never heard about?
Same goes for jump starts.
But jump starts are more arbitrary. I have seen racers move and then they punish themselves by being the last off the line in accordance with the rule guideline yet they are still penalized.
Contradicting application of the rules leads to more animosity then there should be in these situations.

The fact they plummeted means there's some risk there. Also mining stocks?
Anyway, I think most racing is probably a better spectator sport than a TV event although it bores the socks off me but that's the same with formula one, cycling, go kart racing etc. Even as a spectator sport I'd probably go and watch once but not bother again as I remember what happened when I went to watch the Tour de France last stage in Paris. I waited for ages and the build up was pretty interesting but when the pack came along it was a massive anticlimax and over with in seconds.
Lacombe was DQ'd for the same infraction back in 2009 or 2010. A fairly large trophy was then thrown, and broken, then broken trophy was given to someone else.
Typical of CSBK, if you are a friend of CF you get a buy. One person gets banned from CSBK events for a track side scuffle, another gets a free ride after a dust-up with security staff in Edmonton? Rules are bent and twisted by CF to meet his needs
We were at turn 8 for the last day. No body left they all stayed for the last race
Glad to hear it! Sorry Sunday wasn't an exciting race at the front, it was even a bit boring for me especially after Saturday's dual which I would say was the best race I'd been in all year maybe even the best one ever.

Congrats, on the #1, now come to shanny next week with your black #'s and really have fun.
Thanks Jim and I'm still undecided if I'll switch to black numbers before the end of the season or enjoy my last race as an AM. If they're allowing the top finishers to ride pro then I'll take the extra track time and try to catch a wiff of your exhaust for a lap or two.
Ben was using pump gas which in fact made less power. With Ben being pretty much on his own and new to CSBK after two years he messed up. Because it was "Not" spec and he was not in the points but the bike made less HP then with the spec fuel, he was docked the points and donated his Purse. Think that was pretty fair. His bike was faster with the spec fuel. But because it wasn't the spec fuel he was penalized.
It's pretty easy to lay judgement,,, change only happens when people stop complaining and offer to help.
Is it perfect no but ,,,,,,rent the tracks and hire a staff and build a foundation and I'm in!
There are not enough people at a CSBK round to fix all the problems. The easiest thing to see are the problems. When that is all you are looking for.
So here ya go,,, Man up and volunteer your services to help,,,,then you can *****! I did. You can gladly take over parking.
Positives,, Edmonton was good and that track is safer now that CSBK was there. Thank you to all that went.
Shuby got another 100 bottle bags to help with their safety.
St Eustache is now working on bottle bags to make it safer.
Calabogie is now working on bottle bags to help with safety.
Mosport was great racing, best paddock numbers in years and spectators.
Trevor Daley showed us all how "YOU" need to help yourself PR yourself.
Look at the caliber of Amatuer riders coming up to Pro next year.
Best place we've been in,,in a long time
Not necessarily. The government saw energy (Canada has a history of being a natural resources provider) as a safe commodity. Obviously nothing is immune to drops.
We aren't known for innovations because innovations carry huge amounts of risk. Motorcycle racing and motorsports could be seen in the same view. I mean look at international motorsport events, Canada isn't known for jack **** nor do we have the fans to back it up.
The first time my bike has been on the Dyno was at Mosport this year, I've been in the top 5 nine times in 2 years. My fuel has only been checked after qualifying this year never after a race which is good because that's when I run MR12.
The ruling seems fair for Ben but seemed a bit harsh for Will Hornblower and the jump start.
You can't make everyone happy and so far I've enjoyed my experience with CSBK.

.....oh, ok well that's the first time, maybe second because it could have happened after race one where I was again busy lol. I've been the one to push my bike over the scales every round and after that they tell me to leave. I guess they had some spare time at Mosport and wanted to check everything.
