Title: Is this acceptable for a number plate
Post by: DEVINC on August 05, 2009, 09:10:31 PM
Obviously i would paint it yellow but is the placement and spacing of the numbers ok?

With a yellow background behind all the numbers (and some blank yellow spacing around the outside edge) it should work.

What tracks are you going to race at?

Will request that the numbers are all at the same angle.

Florida region tech is not extremely harsh but it depends on the individual. If you can read it easily they will let you go even if it isn't to the letter of the law. Same size, same direction is what they typically ask for. Doing it in a chevron such as you do makes it a little more difficult to read at speed. The front is usually used at start/finish and the sides and rear by the corner workers, or so is my impression.

i see... makes sense might have to go with smaller numbers cramped up more.

That's what I did and I have a two digit that helps. I also have numbers on the sides going ole'skool.

their not    henry needs your money as long as there is a boarder around the numbers your plugs and filter are safety wired and your helmet is legal you will be allright. their good people. they have fussed at me before and it's nothing personal we all had fun at the game you will have plenty of time to fix any problems daytona seems to be a mix of fla and southeast. somewhat impersonable.

My tail #plate isn't the size they specify, but it fits all the other parameters, think they'll let it slide?

can you read it from about 40 feet away? If you can you have a legitimate argument.

I've noticed that in the Florida region at least, they have gotten easier on the enforcement of number plate regulations since we went to electronic scoring this year.

By the way, welcome to the club!

Title: Re: Is this acceptable for a number plate
Post by: roadracer162 on August 17, 2009, 10:52:47 AM

Rulebook says 4" or 6" on tail, and 8" in front.
On an 05 gsxr, DEVINC's placement would work pretty well on it, I think.
Did you have any trouble with it in the FLorida region?
Also, could you do smaller than 8" in the front, or will they gripe about it?
Also, if I decided to run it slanted on one side, the rulebook says to the side of the tower, or something like that.
Homestead and PBIR, and POSSIBLY the Jennings round, but not likely.
Thanks

I ended up putting some smaller numbers (I don't know what size) pretty much all on the middle of the windshield. I don't know if the picture on this thread would actually work. I am pretty sure that my front numbers are not 8".

The R6 is tough. I had big numbers on the front and it was obscured by the angles. It was easier to read with the small ones so I went with this
