Flouresent yellow am plates

[sanee]

went through tech last weekend at jennings and tech told me i needed yellow plates and not green ???
just wondering why the sudden change of this.
should have been done at the start of the season.

I agree! Tech passed me at LVMS this weekend,
only to have the race director come by later in the afternoon to tell me my plates were not legal!!

Since I run both WERA and CCS, and rode this color last year in CCS with no issues, I had the bike re-painted the same... Now I have to change??
WTF???

[spyderchick]

Yup. I had that problem a number of years ago. Roger painted the bike and put a touch of neon in the yellow to brighten it up. We were told to redo the plates for the following event.

Use yellow, standard crayon yellow. No neon, no lemon, no buttercup. Yellow.  ::) ;) ;D

I dunno I dont see the big deal I mean its either yellow or white, and neon yellow sure as hell aint white.

probably just who you got at Tech talking smack to ya

I was told in the past that neon-ish yellow was actually better,

oh well sanee thats what ya get ya sandbagger :) ;D ;D

Kinda like the problems I had at gateways tech shed. FOr 3 yrs the throttle on my F2 didnt 'snap' shut. It self closed, but not as fast as teh tech guy liked. COnsidering the rules just say "SELF CLOSING THROTTLE" and nothing about how fast it has to close, he still refused to let me through tech. I missed a practice session because I was dinking around with the throttle trying to get it looser. What we need is all tech inspections standardized throughout CCS regions. Even a friend was told his numbers were too close and they were exactly the same spacing as mine were.

Perhaps is you guys should smile sweetly and bat your eyelashes.  Oh, throw in a wink too....  


It could help!   :o     :-*

The problem could be that the scorers may have a more difficult time reading the numbers. If they can't read them, you will be asked to change them.

Exactly.

Don't forget about us corner workers.  We have a tough time reading numbers as well.  Especially if the numbers are made with black electrical tape instead of the pre-cut numbers. (sorry to whoever that was at summit this weekend...was the first example to come to mind)

It's simply a CCS preference/rule/determination.  I know that WERA allows a greenish yellow, but CCS does not.  It's just that simple.

Kinda like my competition # on my helmet.  In CCS, I can have it on the chin bar.  But if I went through a WERA race, they'd slap a tech sticker right over it and make me write my number elsewhere on the helmet...

Corner workers & scorers prefer consistency for ease of operation.  Tech simply ensures they get this.

The rule book does not state "no neon yellow". It clearly states "yellow" will be used by amatuers. Do you know how many shades of yellow there are in the color chart? :o

As far as comparing it to the number placement on the helmet, we are not even talking apples and apples with that one... ;)
