Umm,
Can novice racers (yellow plates) race litre bikes?
I seem to remember it was a no-no starting this year.

You can race whatever you want as long as you are 18. I believe the rules apply to minors only. At 14 you have to start out on something less than a 600, 16 for those, and you'd have to check on the age for litre bikes. Or ask Jesse Janisch, he would know. ;)

O-ya, I got the liter bike question answered awhile back. Thats what makes CCS great--bring what ya got ;D.

Firerider,
Just be sure you've got the name of the person with whom you spoke (preferably, info in writing).
2 things come to mind:
-(On the litre bike topic) I got a buddy in Va Beach who was told he couldn't race his R1 (in the Mid Atlantic region).
-(On the miscommunication topic)  I was told that my F2 was legal to race in Thunderbike....And twice I've been grabbed at the end of a race & told I was disqualified for running a 1993 frame.  Thankfully I carry the letter from Mr. Elliott explaining the bike is, in fact, legal.  Both times were frustrating experiences.....Always keep a copy of the rules (& any changes) handy.
Good luck racing!

ZX10R-  I would make sure that the front wheel has been replaced, and keep a CLOSE eye on the engine case above the output shaft of the transmission. There seems to be some issue with cracks and leaking oil....

I would also highly recommend a hardened case cover at least for the left side.  A friend of mine had a low speed crash and went though the case, luckily he didn't oil the track.  It did expose whatever is on the end of the crank on that side, we could see it turning in the hole, so his day was done.

Actually, I do have case protection installed. Thanks for the info 8)

wire your water drain bolt, the lid/cover/dipstick (whereever the oil goes in.)   Hoseclamp on the oil filter.   Grips, cuz they are easy.   Loctite on all footpeg and rearset bolts (not required by highly reccomended).   If your radiator cap is a locking type, you are ok, if not, I would wire it.   wire on Rear axle. metal caps for your tire valves.  gaffer/duct tape over wheel weights. Clear tape over tach/speedo.   Put your number on your helmet.  
Figure out where and how you are going to mount your transponder.  

ccs stickers required on both sides.

good luck mang - racing a zx-10 - you got some cohones!!!
