Fluid Retention Area Lip Height Minimum 50mm ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL RULES FOR ALL NEW ERA CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES FOR ALL NEW ERA CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES FOR ALL NEW ERA CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES FOR ALL NEW ERA CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES FOR ALL NEW ERA CHAMPIONSHIPS 1. ENGINE AND FRAME NUMBERS All solo road race machines are required to have engine and frame numbers that have obviously not been tampered with or deleted. The automatic penalty is exclusion of the machine. 2. MACHINE VERIFICATION Random verification of machines will take place at any time and will be at the Entrant's expense. The time and location of the check will be at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course. No rider shall be deemed to have finished a race unless his/her machine has been submitted for final examination if so required and passes. It is the competitor's responsibility to ensure that his/her machine complies with the regulations. Non conformity or refusal to have a machine examined will result in exclusion from the meeting and the Clerk of the Course or the Stewards may impose other penalties in accordance with the ACU Sporting Code. The New Era Race Committee may also deduct points from the previous rounds and impose further penalties. 3. TYRES Except for the Formula 400 and Formula 600 classes which are required to use only moulded treaded tyres (including full wets), the choice of tyres will be with the rider. This means that either moulded or slick tyres may be used for the 125cc, 250cc, Sound of Thunder and Pro- Bike Open classes. Control Tyres (Bridgestone) are mandatory for the Honda Hornets and CB500 in the both championships. 4. OIL CONTAINMENT For all four stroke motorcycles (Solos & Sidecars) equipped with a fairing, the lower fairing hasto be constructed to hold, in case of an engine breakdown, at least half of the total oil and engine coolant capacity used in the engine. The lower edge of openings in the fairing must be positioned at least 50mm above the bottom of the fairing. The lower fairing should incorporate a maximum of two holes of 25mm diameter. These holes must remain closed in dry conditions and must be opened only in "wet" race conditions as declared by the Clerk of the Course. Minimum modifications with relation to the profile of the lower fairing are allowed only to fulfill this rule. Page 16 5. ADDITIVES TO WATER IN RADIATORS Are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. The only liquid engine coolant permitted other than lubricating oil, is WATER. Note: This rule is in existence to prevent the use of oil based substances which can be dangerous if spilt on to the circuit. The Clerk of the Course will impose a Fine (Minimum £50) for any breaches of this rule. 6. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS To improve general Safety in the Paddock all competitors are required to have their own Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher available for immediate use by themselves or others throughout the meeting. The minimum capacity of the extinguisher is 2 kg. In order to avoid the powder com- pacting the extinguisher should be shaken at regular intervals. Regular spot checks as to availability will be made and the Clerk of the Course will impose an Fine of £25 on any competitor who is found to be in breach of the rule. 7. NUMBER PLATE COLOURS & SIZE For 2007 Front and Side Plates will each be of the same colours: 125ccBlack PlatesWhite Numbers 250ccGreen PlatesWhite Numbers Formula 400Blue PlatesWhite Numbers 500ccYellow PlatesBlack Numbers Single CylindersBlack PlatesYellow Numbers Formula 600White PlatesBlue Numbers 1000ccWhite PlatesBlack Numbers 1300ccRed PlatesWhite Numbers F2 SidecarsRed PlatesWhite Numbers Plates and numbers must be of Matt not Glossy finish. NUMBER PLATES BIG PROBLEMS occurred last season with riders having machines fitted with terrible numbers. (Another good reason for introducing Transponders). The Timekeepers cannot identify these bikes and so the rider may be missed off the Results Sheets. The fact that Fairings these days seem to be designed to prevent decent numbers being fitted does not help either. However, in our Championships it is VERY IMPORTANT that your FRONT NUMBER at least complies fully with the regulations. The plate must be clean and include a Superclub Series Sticker only. There must be a wide clear border between the individual numbers and all the edges of the plate. PLEASE help us to serve you by not bringing a bike to the meeting with a front number plate which does not comply. For further info see pages 219/ 220 (Art.13.7) of your 2006 ACU Handbook PLEASE note that the MINIMUM DIMENSION of the plate must be 235mm high by 285mm wide. The figures must be: Stroke width 25mm and figure height 140mm - These measurements are MINIMUM. Page 17 285mm (min) 25mm 80mm (min) 235mm (min) Gap 15mm 140mm (min) Page 18 1. Ensure that the transponder holder is fitted securely, preferably using bolts and Nylock nuts. (If tie-wraps are used at least two sufficiently strong tie-wraps are needed to secure the holder) 2.The transponder must be mounted VERTICALLY and NOT horizontally. 3.The securing pin must be at the top. 4.Fit the transponder holder in a safe and secure position. 5.Mount the transponder so that it is preferably no more than 2 ft (60 cm) from the ground. 6.Mount the transponder so that it is away from heat generating bodies such as the exhaust. 7.Mount the transponder so that it has as clear a view of the ground as possible. Note: The transponder signal will not pass through metal or carbon fibre based plastics. 8.Push the 'R' clip right through as far as possible in order to prevent it being accidentally pushed out. Lockwiring the prongs of the 'R' clip is recommended. 9.The transponder must be fitted whenever your vehicle is on the course, including free and timed practice sessions. 10.The transponder must be charged and 'flashing' green when it is presented for scrutineering. When fully charged the green light will flash three times. Remember: Three green flashes indicates that the transponder will function for approximately three days. Two green flashes indicates two days. 11.Transponders are best charged on the mains (usually for at least 14 hours). It is not advisable to use a car cigarette lighter socket, and generators are often totally ineffective. No time will be recorded at all if the transponder is not fitted or has not been charged.
