Tyre rules for 600 - amount?

[Dom]

Can't seem to find any info on tire rules for 600 in terms of how many per round qualifying/races? Anyone got a confirmed answer?

Thought I'd try on here before I start making phone calls

Thanks

Shaun said on KR that it was 1 set per round (for Stock Prod class)...I haven't actually seen the rule though.

what you want rules before the day of races ?

[lee]

limited amounts of tyres(?) it's not in the rules (as promulgated). Can anyone confirm this? It would certainly bring the cost down.

1 set per round for the races

[SWERVE]

Does it work like this - use whatever tyres you please for un-official practice (friday) and practice and first qualifyer. Then whatever set of tyres you finish final qualifyer on are marked and you must use these for rest of your races that round/weekend.
Correct me if i am wrong please.:innocent:

[wayne]

potwin,
the mark tyres after first race, must use those for last two races ......

[CHOPPA]

It prob wont be confirmed till the supp regs are out? Is that for supersport and stock? Or is that just for stock? Can supersport run slicks?

I just got message from Road race commissioner and he said same allocation as last season. So if someone knows allocation for last season for 600 Superstock then guess its that?

haha oh yup there was no limit last year Dom so get it in writing

[slowpoke]

It might have an influence on tyres: wasn't there talk of changing the race format to make it a bit more spectator friendly? Like having 3 shorter races rather than 2 long ones for 1000/600 type thing?

I wrote to the road race commission but didn't hear anything. They still hadn't ratified the rules at that stage so may have been otherwise engaged.

Given that most folks had to have their tyres ordered ages ago it could make things interesting if they do change the format.

The way the rules read you cannot use wets UNTIL the race / practice is declared wet. Last Nats a rider was warned and nearly lost his points for being out in a race on wets WITHOUT the required "wet declaration" It makes it tough when no time frame is given for this declaration wet / not wet immediately prior to race

I think you will find that going out on wets irrespective of the weather is just a mainland thing, cos you know if its not raining right there & then then its about to............ :-)
Not one to brag after Round 5 of Vic though aye !

Rules can be changed based on a SAFETY issue only! and you are correct re the wording, it is bollocks to have to weight for some one to say, O, it;s wet, so this IS a safety issue.

Follow this rule up with Paul Stewart and ask him who can re word this officualy, and let us know the out come.

[Toast]

1 set per round for the races

And "1 set" still means 1 front and 2 rears like it did before?

My replies have been based on the Production 600 rules of last year, NOT the Supersport rules.

Ask the racing commitee by email, dont trust the internet mate
