Flouresent yellow am plates

[roadracer68]

wow , this is such a loaded list of problem's , but since i am on the other side of the fence after racing for 15 years I really get to see why to all your questions here.

1) tech is here to make sure everyone is safe and ready to ride we are not here to ruin your day are try to piss you off. everyweekend since i started this year I have found at least 5-10 racers who forgot to wire the drain plug, but yet i always get slack because we need the lowers removed so I can see the bolt is wired. ccs is some what consistant in tech, but some things get missed we are only human.  

2) wera is more slack on the # thing because they are using transponders. all you who are complainng that you want to use outlined and fancy color back rounds etc. need to get a piece of paper and pen and step to the fence and try and score a rac e with 30 + bikes in it . I will bet you $ you can not do it.  
and after you try you will understand that the scoring needs all to be the same so they do not have to lock in to read a bike to long or they will miss the next 2-3 bikes.

anytime you think you have a better idea or way things should be done feel free to let me know I will not be offended or laugh at you. I learn new things everyday.

Well, we use transponders too.  The point of the color is because the scorers and cornerworkers feel that neons are too hard to see, especially on a very sunny day.  I speak from experience, the neons are a pain when you're scoring.  Neon yellow is not yellow.  If it were, it wouldn't have the word "neon" preceeding it.  Geez, guys, just use common sense.  You all know by not what is and isn't cool.

Just for fun, why don't you guys volunteer to score for a few races a weekend so you can see how difficult it can be.  Maybe then you'll understand.

tiffany i totally understand what you say
its just the fact that i was not told that
when i went to tech in the morning, he just told me that it was green  ??? which i totally did not understand.  i then told him that i was cleared at daytona and the previous jennings round.  so he said to just get it done by my next event.  i asked Henry Degouw about  it and he said that if i passed tech at daytona (a national event) it should be fine but its whatever the tech guys want. (He even saw the bike and didnt say anything about it being green ;D)  Then later on in the day couple ccs officials come over and tell me that i have to change it now or just not be scored if they miss my number.  Then i tried to ask him why and reason with him till he totally pissed me off by stating "i really dont give a &*%% if you painted it pink"  thats when i lost respect for him.

Just tell me that its for the scorers having difficulty and dont tell me its green

I agree. If it's stated clearly in the rule book, then we all understand it. Tech is confused, riders are confused, scorers are confused. Someone should have issued a notice; would have taken care of the whole mess. ;)

By the way WERA is not any more slack on any issues, in fact they are very to the point and accurate, as to what they're rule book allows and does not allow. :)

Would words like:  "Shall be either 'schoolbus yellow' or 'safety yellow'  fleet colors"  help?

I think that means something pretty specific to me, and I think it does to paint vendors, sign vinyl, and Krylon-can labels.

FWIW, the blue on my bike is 'Traffic Blue'....

Do you know how many shades of yellow there are in the color chart?

what did you say?? "SHADES"?? there is only one yellow and it is called yellow. i was at jennings and there was a bike or two that the # plate did look green from a workers view.

[Super_KC124]

Why are you running a green number plate anyway? ;D

[diesel748]

I formulate radiation cureable printing inks and with that I match colors very often and there is thousands of differant shdes of yellow there is raw pigment called yellow that looks differant for example AAA is a red shade and MX is green/blue shade with a clean look. both of the are yellow and look totally differant. The only issue here is what is CCS going to let you have on your bike we know that the answer is not a flour-- if the scores and corner workers have a hard time with Flouressent plates just re-paint.
PS -flouresent yellow is not green it is a blue shade yellow flouresent green is green.

I am totally confused now...lol

Tobias, you're scaring me a lil...

[rotoboge]

Re-painting this week... :(

I still do not understand why it works for WERA,
but not for CCS? They have cornerworkers and
scores as well. Are they more qualified?? ???

[EmerWil]

what if...

the cornerworkers had different yellow flags.  Some would be a green-yellow...some were a red-yellow..but they're all  still yellow...the riders would complain that there were different color yellow flags on the turns.
