2013 Rules

    Okay, finally doing this (yes I know how bad it is) -

    Definites -

    SV650's in all classes will be allowed to swap to a 5" or 5.5" rim from GSXR600, F2, F3, F4's. That's it though - no other rims allowed. This should help you find more tire options.

    1125R and 1098 in SS trim into B Superbike.

    Double bubbles are legal (stupid rule)

    2000-03 Mille allowed in V7 HW

    F 2-stroke machines allowed in Clubman.


    Poosibilities -

    Front plate rule might go back to it doesn't have to be centered et al. Tired of enforcing it really and what I have allowed sucks anyway so it's not like they'd be less readable.

    Just for note, the GSXR rear wheels are 5.5 inches.

    HPPT !!!

    I swear, I did a double take on this. Maybe there's hope for peace in the Middle East after all.
    :D

    I hate DQ'ing some newbie over something so damn stupid. I have also finally given up on my hope that people would realize a simple squeezing of the fairing stays has the exact same effect but is legal AND cheaper. Lowest common denominator and all that :(

    So... since my bike is of the 2004-2006 generation... will it be vintage legal next year? :crackup:

    It is an actually a 2006 ... but ...

    Okay, I've held it long enough. I will probably be banned for this. But, i need to put a face with a name. Mongo (Mr. Clarke), are you the guy that does the race commentary and trophy presentation? Or are you the guy that does the rider meeting (beginning) or the guy that does the flags and start procedures? Or, none of the above?

    No, I don't have a Vintage class right now newer than the mid 90's sorry.

    I'm blown away... I'm going to miss that silly rule, it was the cause of some really funny bbs reading :D

    I would like to see the possibility of offset numbers just because I think it's nice looking... but it's not a huge deal one way or the other. As long as they're legible, I don't really care much.

    I know very little about twins, but those bikes into BSK sounds crazy. I really have no reason for thinking that, I don't know how they compare so I'll defer to your awesomeness... just strikes me as odd.

    All depends on the weekend. At Roebling I was the fat guy working grids with a cowboy hat on most of the time.

    At NOLA I'll be in the tower doing control.

    WERA West I'm usually on the computer running timing/scoring.

    Twins in with the 750's has been going on for a long long time. This just allows larger bore ones in than the normal 1000cc cutoff but limits their mods compared to the 750's in B Superbike. I know we don't have many true Superbike 750's but they'd be able to easily beat the two models I listed.

    He was the one with the cowboy hat, riding the horse last weekend, on the starting grid. At least I thought so until I got up to pit wall and there was no horse. :D

    I bought a new stock windscreen to put on my bike before last saturday to make it ss legal. F**k! lol

    Now, about those brembo master cylinders...............

    No way, that is an absolute performance advantage. If the stock brakes on your choice of machine have issues while racing, pick another machine. Same as you'd do for being under powered or bad handling or anything else that can be cured by making it a superbike.
