RULES
« Reply #30 on: October 26, 2006, 02:41:10 AM »
The rule that does not allow a race vehicle to move under it's own power except
in the restricted racing area at SCTA events is their own rule and others are not subject to it.
The origin of the rule is related to the mix of return and access road
traffic that is largely uncontrolled with respect to speed and direction.
Less traffic = fewer rules and resultant abuses.

Is that what we are trying to say ? :wink:

That's the ticket...
It's organizationally dependent, not locationally independent.

AAH, I guess so.  
Understanding the origin of the rule goes a long ways towards
compliance.  LOL :wink:

I am planning on running at Bub this September and therefore I would like to coonfirm what was said earlier - and that is...... That I will be allowed to ride my bike to the starting line and back to the pit at the 2007 Bub event - I will be running a street legal zx-14.

Questin 2 - assuming this is correct - is there any reason that it would be preferable to have a towing vehicle accompany me to the starting line and/or pick me up at the end of the track - for example - to find shade from the sun - access to an air conditioned vehicle while waiting - to keep salt from accumulating on the bike????? Thanks for the feedback.

Answer 2:  All are good reasons to have a support vehicle.  Add in conserving fuel (if your bike had a tiny fuel tank, of course, not if it's stock -- then this isn't a problem), having a place to sit and get into your leathers so you don't have to stand in the hot sun, all suited up, sweating, perspiring, getting faint, etc.  Also think about how nice it is to have a cold drink handy, to have a rear stand in the car/truck so you can more easily do last-minute stuff to your bike (lube chain, scrape salt off tires, check oil, etc).
