Road America: Registering pit bikes- Licenced machinery ok?

[123user]

I see that Road America now requires registering pit bikes.  Looks like licenced vehicles are OK?  The track cites insurance reason.  Insurance policies at different tracks must vary wildly!!!  @Daytona I had to remove the plates on my PitHawk...  Now, at RA, I'll have to leave them on?  Blackhawk farms rules make no sense at all.  Spectators can ride motorcycles in and out all day long, but if I'm racing/camping I need to register my LICENSED bike to use it to run into town [according to Mr. Clean, that is].

The two clowns that were out "racing" their pit bikes after dark at Blackhawk, you two started this BS, and yet you still feel comfortable showing up to races??  If I had pulled that stunt, I'd be too shamed to come back!

There were more than "two" clowns out there that night a BFR...Where did you read about this? Am I missing the Link somewhere?

Yeah there were more than two clowns. It was the straw that broke the camels back though. This had been building up for a couple years.

And the real good part is, or rumor has it, the clowns were not bike people but friends of the owners who were there just goofing off.

Last year Tom, the security guard, tried to make me register my scooter which is street legal. I flat refused and kept riding it. I told him, "When every street bike in here is registered, I'll register my scooter". He didn't push the deal.

I will do the same this year. If he pushes it I will contact AMA and have them contact the race track for an explanation to why they discriminate against one group of bike owners.

Well, actually as I remember the deal at BFR (seeing as my wife and I almost got hit while walking the track) one of the "clowns" is a racer and was still racing as of last season.

Tom did push the issue with my wife, for riding a LICENSED bike at the 'farms.  In fact, when I showed up another time, he passed by and told me not to even pull it off the trailer.  However, when my wife got "busted" he came to discuss the matter with me- he thought she was my daughter.  She was sitting right there, it was so funny I found it difficult to put up much of a fight.

Gordie, according to the posts that the owners/management (HPT on the board) put up about this last year stated as long as the vehicle is currently street registered, according to I-dot, it doesnt fall under the pitbike rule.

Negative ghost rider...The clowns were all racers...

But, to get back to the post at hand, where is the RA info at?

I believe that is in reference to a quote from Top Gun.

As always, I'm a little confused on the new RA rules.   Are the little dirt bikes that people use for pit vehicles ok there?
