Unusual Race Stoppages

[PVDA]

I was thinking the other day about unusual things that have stopped races.

I'm not talking about torrential rain or collisions but unusual things.

To start things off I submit this;



Taken at Phillip Island here in "Sunny" Australia in September 2004 at an Australian Superbike round there.

There had been days and days of rain prior and during the Saturday the photo was taken and the drain under the track at Turn 3 could no longer keep up with the water and started to get closer & closer to the track.

Once the water got to the white line, also the apex of the corner, they pulled the pin on racing until they could unblock the drain and pump out the water.
