I'd like to see a rule modification for the LWSS class to allow the SV to run a 5.5" rear wheel.
I know other Orgs. have recently adopted this to their rule book and really want to open up the tire availability to the lightweight SV's.
When does CCS accept rule modification proposals? I don't want to miss the window, I assume its a small one......
Maybe this has been proposed in the past??? If so what happened and why?
Thanks, Anthony
As of now you can run
LW Supersport----- stock unmodified wheels
any other races----- any wheel you want,even carbon fiber if you want.
I'm a supporter of this rule modification, there are numerous bike specific exceptions in LWSS already (mostly for Buells...), I too would like to know the process that should be followed and what supporting doc should be included to at least get this discussed for next year's rule book...160 dot race rubber is getting harder to find every year....
Nothing........ :pop:
I think rule should stay. If you don't like rule, don't run SS. CCS only has one class where you have to stick with stock SV rim. You have plenty of other classes to race if you want to run 5.5"
Sweist I'm interested in seeing it change on the basis that the 160 width race rubber is drying up - thank god for Pirelli this year, but how long is that going to last? additionally the other LWSS legal bikes can pretty much all run a 180 rear with the exception of the sv (Buells and ducs) so the text of the rulebook already has an exception or 16 for the Buells to allow them to change out the swingarm and run a chain in SS, and change the brakes out for standard discs up front (think I'm remembering that second one right) for instance - this would just go one more step to leveling the playing field and make life easier on the tire vendors to boot imho
or they could allow rear slick.

I want to switch! I want to run Bridgestones and get me some of that contingency!
That would be a good move if CCS allowed the wheel change, I agree ! But you need to write an official letter to the CCS Staff, to review, for 2014 rule changes. Other wise you are just pissing in the wind and singing to the chior
I would like to see a rule that kids under 100 lbs would have to carry 50lbs in lead weight.
Put in a formal request at the end of the season mazzzz
It's sad to think that if I cut off both of my legs, I would still weigh more than Mazz... :lmao:
Relax fellas, he's growing as we speak...... 107lbs and counting!
Downside is he's getting faster each weekend................ :cheers:

And if I cut both of my legs off, I'd still out-weigh you. Oh wait... That really sucks...
I blame the cookie bars!!!
If someone could provide a link as to the official proceedings to get a rule modification letter submitted it would be great.
I've searched but have come up with nothing? I'd like to get this in before the deadline of ?????
Thanks, Anthony
Official letter sent off to Kevin...... :pop:
There used to be a deadline for submitting suggestions to the rules committee. I can't find it on the site. It used to be in the mailer but these days, but the time the mailer shows up the window is liable to be closed.
Spoke to Kevin and sent an official letter of proposal.
We shall see..... :pop:
I'm glad you found the appropriate method for requests. This forum is not the official CCS site and is by no means the appropriate method for rules requests. In the past I have submitted my requests to Eric Keller but have not any luck with that. The appropriate person for rules submissions is Kevin Elliott.
Mailer is out and this got shot down...
Glad I got a great deal on the rear wheel I did buy.
