Can titanium knee sliders be use during practice/r

[TightSqueeze]

"...all the freaky", huh?

I think I'm too old to keep up with the lingo, let alone the sparks in my face.

[Mahly]

 :o Wow!!! 1 little typo and the sarcasm comes out.
Hey, just 'cus I'm faster than you doesn't mean we can't be friends. ;D
What do ya mean too old... I'm 33!

[LonnieM]

It's not the least bit "amusing", it's distracting and foolish.  Do your squid "look at me" shit elsewhere.  

I agree that TI pucks are distracting, I don't mind them on trackdays, but for practice and race days they are definatley out!!

[Rick Beggs]

distraction is the game sometimes
i have seed d1ld0s hanhing off handle bars
nekked girls on tailsections
cornerworkers flashing, (at carolinaand Barber)
people putting their hand up braking for t1
teamates crashing
if i am on that day, i dont notice, if i am off, it reminds me to think about riding, nothing else

As Eric said, they arent allowed in CCS period.

Us that do cornerwork WILL call you in if we see sparking sliders. You will be black flagged and brought in. Unlike hard parts that touch down, you're knee is on the ground longer and out farther. We spot that rather easily. Hard parts usually only touch for a split second. Also think about this, what if its ultra dry out and one of those sparks start a grass fire? More than likely the sessions are over until thats taken care of. Granted thats a long shot scenario, but food to think about.

BTW I've had someone in front of me during a track day with those. Didnt bother me nor did teh flash photography going on around the track.

I used the hard leather pucks for almost an entire season.  There is also a brand named ARI (or something similar to that) that are hard as hell, but I am convinced they are cursed and therefore stay as far away from them as I can! ;D

[reverendjim]

YES, they are legal according to CCS staff I asked at Miam -Homestead bacause they were all I had with me and I used them, nobody wrecked behind me, or was bothered in any way.  Bundch of FN crybabies goddamn!

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

Intuitive makes pucks out of the same stuff as sliders.  They glide, they are sorta quiet, and they last forever.

But yet Eric stated they are illegal and he's the director of competition for CCS. Sounds more like the staff at Miami didnt care if they were used or not.

I wouldn't say it's the entire brand, only that one set (which I still hold under lock & key)...  Anyone who has touched them has crashed within the next race day...

And to add to the thread....  What ever happened to reading the rule book...  This issue is addressed clearly there.  There really isn't much room for interpretation.

If the WSB guys run sparkies, great.  Ante up and run with them...  :-*

If I see those things again I'm gonna crash in the paddock before I go out and race just to get it over with..

Perhaps if people actually took the time to read the rule book.

5.1.5 Knee and toe sliders that emit sparks are prohibited.
