Hello,

New to this forum and looking to get into Land Racing.  I've been trying to get started for a while but just haven't had the time plus we recently moved from Ohio down to Texas.  Well it appears that things are settling down and I may be able to get to the next race in October.  I have a factory stock bike that I need to setup to pass tech so I can race at the Texas Mile. 

Anything else need to be done to pass tech and run other than what's listed on the main site...?  http://texasmile.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=32


1.   Engine kill switch. Riders must have a lanyard style kill switch that kills all power in the event of a rider falling off. Tip over switches will NOT be a suitable replacement for a kill switch.

2.   Tires will be ZR rated D.O.T. tires, front and rear

3.   Front axels must be safety wired. Rear axels must have the nut pinned, clipped, or safety wired,

4.   Oil drain plugs will be safety wired and it is encouraged to safety wire the filter but is not required at this time.

5.   Drive chains must have the master link safety wired or siliconed (preferably colored silicone)

6.   Crankcase breather hoses must be run into a catch tank or in to the air box.

7.   Leather racing suits must be worn and zipped at all times while in the hot pits or racing lane. Two piece suits must zip together.

8.   Kevlar T panels can only be used for expansion flexibility (arms and legs) and not to replace other large areas of leather.

9.   Leather gloves with no holes or other openings other than breathing pinholes.

10. Leather boots or racing boots with no holes and covering the ankles.

11. Helmets must be certified by Snell Memorial Foundation and bearing M2000 or M2005 approval stickers. All helmets must be in sound condition, including shell, liner, and strap. All helmets must be approved by the tech inspector.

12. Shields must be shatterproof in nature and have clear visibility.

13. Visor tear-offs are not allowed.

14. The Texas Mile prohibits hydration devices such as camel backs during racing events.

15. Steering Damper for speeds greater than 140.

If you have any questions about the above rules, please contact the Mile staff before coming to the event.


Anyone from the Mile staff on here...

Thanks,

Josh

Josh, that is pretty much it.  :-D a little wire, a lanyard kill, and your standard safety equipment.  Have fun, Texas is an easy group to race with.  They get lots of bikes.

Thanks, I forgot to ask if I need SS valve stems...?  I thought I read that somewhere but don't see it listed now...

fredvance:
Metal valve stems required.
