Number Plate ?

[PolishPete]

I've searched and have not found a response to this.

I'm going to run white number plates on the trackbike because I'm going to do 98% trackdays this year, and one, maybe two race weekends.  These will be my first race weekends.  Can I run the white plates (looks better for trackdays), then put yellow duct tape over them and black #s on that for amateur plates for the race weekend?  Might sound corny I know...but the bikes hot orange and black, and the yellow just looks weird.  Or is there a rule which says they must be vinyl/paint?

Also, I do not have a rulebook, and tried searching for one posted here but could not find it.  Do you have to do the whole front of the bike/cowl, or can you do the half number plate just on one side?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Best bet for what you want to do get vinyl with the numbers applied then use duct to secure that to the bike(this is commonly done by riders that share a bike)

You can have offset numbers but the numbers must be on the side scoring is on, so depending on the tracks or region you may have to switch which side you have numbers displayed on.

Rule book is under forms and downloads on the CCS website

Pete,

I know you live in the Chicago area.  Info if you don't center the numbers on the nose:

If you race at Blackhawk the numbers need to be on the right (throttle) side of the nose.

If you race at Road America they need to be on the left side of the nose.

Thanks guys.

Wait a minute... was Rick just nice and helpful in the same response?

(they must have just installed a toboggan run in Hell or something!    )

White plates don't look good at a track day unless you can back them up with the laptimes....  :)

How true.

I like the guys that just pick a random number and slap it on even though they don't race.  Or buying a former race bike and leaving the numbers on it.

Similar to Track Day org's issueing numbers and having their riders display them on racing style number plates to help add to the fantasy so the participants feel more like their actual racers racing and then denying that's the reason for doing it. LMOA 

I may currently be a slow Expert, but at least I'm living in reality!  ::)
