Numberplate question

[divein6]

OK I cant get on to ccsracing.com and I dont have my rule book handy, so if any one knows the answer that would be cool,..

for amature number plates, does the color have to be "yellow" or can a "neon/florcent" yellow/ kinda green, be used ?

thanks

The color has to be yellow.  They were making neon green change to yellow at the last Blackhawk.

Neon looks cool, but if your transponder failed, it is hard for the scorers to see and would really suck to not get properly scored.

In the Mid-Atlantic region it needs to be a true "John Deer Tractor" yellow.  At the beginning of the year I had my bike painted with the Krylon "High Visibility" Yellow (i.e. neon yellow with a slight green tint) and they made me tape over the plate area with Yellow Duct Tape.

I don't see how that color could ever be mistaken for anything other than Yellow (certain not white) and cause a problem for those scoring - but - its their playground and you have to play by their rules.

I had the privilege of spending the day as Assistant Starter at the last Gingerman.  You'd be surprised at the difference background color makes - especially when you're trying to read the numbers of 5-6 bikes at a time, blasting by at 130 mph, with the glare of the afternoon sun bouncing off the bikes.
