Single Rear # Plate

[extrakt0r]

I noticed at Daytona quite a few of the Bikes had a single rear number plate across the top of the tail section...

Any chance of CCS going to that format in the future? It would be nice with tail sections getting smaller and smaller...

Bikes had very small/no place for numbers when I started racing. We attached rectangular number plates. Perhaps that is what will happen in the future.

THats what they are supposed to do if theres not sufficient enough space for on-body plates.

I thought the single number up top looked and worked out great for all sides but I'm not sure it will work for clubs racing at tracks where the scoring people do not have an overhead view of the start/finish.

I spoke with CCS about this yesterday and it was very clear that CCS will NOT be adopting that single rear number plate. According to CCS the AMA was disappointed with how it worked for them and are considering doing away with it.

I figured it was just a Daytona thing with S/F being banked and the best view coming from the top of the bike if the front was shielded by another rider... sure would make fitting 3 numbers on my tail easier.  But I dont see how it would help with most tracks in the MW/GP.

The only lap scored at start/finish by a person is the last lap. All others are scored in turn one. That's just to show the rider completed the lap.

I should have specified "at Daytona " on that last post.

Actually turn 1 scoring has not been done for 3 years, with the advent of electronic scoring for all classes we have the "backup' scoring all done at start/finish at Daytona now.

And just FWIW, WERA feels the same as CCS.  We may change where we allow the side plates ot be placed, or the size, but we will need them on both sides.

Aren't the rear numbers more for the cornerworkers than for the scorers?

Yes and when we used turn 1 scoring at Daytona it was used there.

That is #1 reason we do not see a change to this rule and the problem AMA was seeing well at least cornerworkers were complaing about during AMA races at Daytona this spring.
