Title: Rear mounted camera - legal?
Post by: racesbikes on May 23, 2003, 11:21:54 AM
Does anyone know if this rear view camera/monitor set-up would be legal (get through tech) for CCS racing?

Shouldn't matter should it?

As long as it's attached firmly and can't come loose they should allow it. Have fun!

I know it has been done, so it must not be against the rules.

It doesn't amount to much more than a lap timer size wise or plastic wise so I can't really see tech having a problem with it.

On the other hand it won't help me much since I usually don't have anyone behind me anyway. Well at least until the Experts come around and lap me.

The best way to utilize a rear view set up is to jump the start and watch the rest of the grid going for it behind you  ;D

I did the reverse of that......sitting on the grid with my arms up, bike in neutral, thinking it was a two wave start - it wasn't.

My bike died in Daytona when I was on the FRONT ROW... Flag drop, bike die. Think about scott russle, wave hand and hit someone in the face as they go by. Very scary... Fortunately it was a rain race so people weren't starting all that hard...

Berm boy sounds better, besides 27 (or was it 28) is still a kid when one is about to turn 40.

28 around here is VERY young.  I live near Sanibel Island and Naples, FL.  If you aren't 90, you aren't even a little old yet here. ;D
