Rear mounted camera - legal?

Mongo/Anyone:

Is this rear mounted camera/monitor set-up legal for WERA?

If anyone can hazard a guess - would it be CCS legal also?

Thanks in advance.

That's a pretty fancy rear view mirror

 

I've always assumed that the "no rear view mirrors" rule was to eliminate 2 snagable projection from the bikes and remove another source of broken glass from the track, not so much to prevent racers from seeing whats going on behind them (thought thats a good idea too)...

 

Since it's tucked away under the windscreen it shouldn't pose a snag hazard to another rider and the glass/plastic wouldn't amount to much more than a lap timer........seems okay to me.

I like gadgety things.

 

I guess you are planning on getting passed otherwise you would not need it.

Well, I'd like to tell you that I'm always the lead bike and want to keep track of the guy in second place...........but that just might be a bit untrue, if you know what I mean.

Probably be more useful for me to keep track of the leaders as they come by to lap me.

 

On a racebike, that thing is a solution in search of a problem.

I doubt it would be legal in tech. Personally, I hope it isn't. I don't think we need guys watching the screen on the dash instead of what they're doing.

 

I understand that "watching" it would be a bad idea, but glancing at it (like a pit board or lap timer) doesn't seem to be too risky.

Of course if I were to get one I would test it at a trackday or at a slower speed or something like that first.

 

It's legal but you have to put duct tape over the glass.

 

I would have to agree there. We had a major wipe-out on the front stright at VIR yesterday because the guy was messing with his lap timer.
