View Full Version : Numbers on bikes for track day.

Ive been reading up on how "things are done' in the UK,europe and the usa
One thing Ive noticed is that bikes have numbers on them to help run things.
Im thinking of using that chalk/paint stuff they use at drag race meetings and using your place number as your number. Also itll be used to show your bike has passed scrutineering--no number no track time
Of course anyone with race numbers will just use that number
Feedback please folks--Its an idea only

It's gonna mark the mint fairings on my crashed GSXR....
I find it difficult to see how it will help, or make anything smoother, it is pretty easy to tell the bike and rider as is, at least it was at TD3...
One vote against, for road bikes anyway.

btw, it's white shoe polish/paint that they use at the drags. Water based and causes no harm to paint.

Sorry KZ --You couldnt be more wrong. There were a few riders I wanted to talk to and it was nearly always they were on a bike there were like 10 of on the track. Its not to help the riders its to help the marshals and organisers.
One case in point--one person was totally flying around the track--definitely 30% faster than the rest of the group--I had a "word" to who I thought was the rider---um was someone on a very similar bike --eep --numbers are easy to keep track of

The paint washes off with water and does not cause damage to paint

I had visions of a nasty person with a big stick of chalk assaulting my machine... Not too bothered personally, as I have just picked up some race fairings (big ups to nicko) so probably will have numbers on them soon.

I see where your coming from, but instead of numbers, why not put a letter. For example..

"F" for fast group
"M" for Medium
"N" for Novice

Might simplify things a bit.

Just an idea.

Hi Frosty

I used to race enduros in the UK and in a few (by no means all) they might put a small coloured sticker or a permanent marker dot /tick on the front number background when you passed scrutineering. More often they would simply have a list of all entrants and mark off when people signed in and when they passed scrutineering. The race would not start until the list was complete. I prefered this as the stickers / permanent marker were always a pain to remove, and that was on a dirt bike! If someone tried it on my SP1 I would not have been happy!

At all of the track days (for standard road bikes) I went to the only bikes with number stickers on were where the stickers had been issued by photography companies, eg. pay £20 up front to the photographer at the start of the day for a guaranteed 1/2 dozen professional pictures to pick up at the end of the day. He would issue you with a number sticker so he then knew who to photograph during the day. The numbers also made it easier for the photographer to collate 1/2 dozen photos of the same person at the end of the day.

A friend of mine runs track days in Spain. I'll ask him how he does it.

put everybody around the track once - then number them from the top down based on their lap time.

then put out 10 riders at a time starting from the bottom up.

braking it into cc categories isn't a huge idea cause you would get people like me riding in the open class and lapping 15 seconds slower than everybody else.

numbering is good though. means you can just say - everybody from 25 to 36. ON THE TRACK NOW.

EDIT: only an issues if people are sharing bikes i guess - but you could solve that by putting the numbers on the riders backs...

My insurer, Classic Cover. Have in the past assured me that I am covered for track days as long as it is not racing. No prizes for places, no lap-timing, no starting grid, no race numbers etc. I don't imagine that id numbers would be a problem though, as long as it's not for "racing". If it did compromise my cover I would be worried.

The insurance 'question' has been raised before. Upon signing the indemnity to use the track, you waive your right to allow yourself and/or your insurance company to pursue other participants for damages, ergo, you may think you're 'covered', but it is unlikely you will ever be able to receive an insurance payout on a track day claim.

Frosty, you're wanting to id individuals; you give people a number in the order in which they book/you process their trackday spot perhaps?

that way, it'd have to be unique.

those with race numbers, weird letters or whatever could PM you/spank/madduck/trumpy/etc...?

They painted numbers on our bikes at the 2Hot2Handle event. Bitch of stuff to 'wash' off.
I think you will find most road riders like to decorate their bikes with a white metal plate fixed at the rear with easy to read black alpha/numeric characters. Surprisingly no two combos seem the same. I donate about $250 bucks a year to rent mine.
As for Race bikes, who cares. What the hell are they doing on a track anyway.

Ok I can't get this out of my mind--A rethink has happened
BIBS --now the plan is to have numbered bibs for the riders.
This is gonna solve a heck of a lot of issues all at once.
4 sets of bibs numbered 1-30 4 different colors.
once ya pass scrutineering you get a bib to suit your speed group.

I'd be quite happy to tape a number on mine. Works for races so shouldn't be a problem.

Just knock up a list with unique numbers. Then have them printed onto a sheet of A4 or something, then attach to bike. Easy.

SwanTiger
6th July 2006, 22:05
Bibs sound like a great idea Frosty and their generic design means that they'll fit all sizes, even Weasel-sized riders.

If it hasn't already been suggested, what about a large piece of coloured paper for each speed group, then use a water based glue to slap on the back of the bike (i.e. over the number plate).

It'll wash off easy but should stick.

Then when someone in slower learner group (like boomer) gets passed by a fast rider (like markauckland) he'll see the back of marks bike and know he has fucked up.

Maybe glue it to the helmet? the water based glue will easily wash off.

Don't like the bibs idea.

Paper with a number would be sweet. Leave people to put their own number on but provide some water based stuff as an option.

Next track day I'm going to have some clear plastic stickers with something printed on them on my headlights. However, I don't think anyone will have a problem picking the only bike on the track with pink bits.

alright then you whingers heres the thing.
At the last couple of trackdays some people were riding um well not well and others refused to come off the track.
In one case I was following 2 riders who stayed out for a full extra session--Hardly fair on everybody else
In another case a couple of riders did 2 full laps under the RED flag and even passed the recovery vehicle that was driving round--could just as easily have been the ambo
Those that suggested er um we have number plates ---tell ya wot stand by the side of a track and see if you can read a plate going past you at 150km/h mixed in amoungst a bunch of other bikes
So give me a better idea--ya dont want white chalk on the bike cos its hard to wash off --Ya dont want bibs cos its gay --paper mets in the rain --so what do ya do ??

sorry frosty; maybe a better way to approach this is to undertsand what you're trying to achieve;

if it's to identify people on teh track.. why? what for? so you can easily recognise them to pass on advice after teh session? i'd suggest that easily achieved without numbers.. your example above .. everyone knew it was me who fucked up!

lets face it, once on the track, flags commnicate what should/shouldn't occur.. if someone doesnt respond to a flag what you gonna do.. wave a bib at 'em?

Dude you try watching 50-60 bikes at the same time and identifying the people you want to talk to --despite your suggestion NO not everybody knew it was you that stuffed up --and you were far from the only one.
But it isnt just stuffups --we were watching for people clearly in the wrong speed group and for dangerous riding---Like that idiot on the black SV650 carving everybody up in the slow group --but sok he got his at the end of the day --someone garrotted him with a chain

Yup. I kinda suggested something similar after a trackday I went to down at Manfield. Have a lead rider who is riding a good pace for the group, anyone who passes him gets their arse promoted to the next group.

I still reckon give people a choice of bibs or tape on numbers. You're never going to find a system that satisfies everyone.

For what it's worth, bibs sound the easiest for you frosty. As long as they are easy to get on and off it shouldn't be a problem (velcro?). I like the idea of being able to easily id riders if it is going to improve safety on the track.

Hey guys and gals, excuse me if i sound like a know it all, but I have a lot of experience in organising and running track days in Australia (Phillip Island, Winton, Broadford, Eastern Creek etc) and I have always had numbers for particpants. From an organisational side, it makes life much easier to identify people for communication purposes, such as rider not suited to group, issue with bike, clarification of etiquite of the day etc etc. Also it helps with photos, so riders can easily identify themselves to any professional or budding photographers on the day. I have always had vinyl stickers for numbers which most signwriters will be able to produce for a minimal fee. These apply easily to any part of the bike/fairings, and more importantly, remove easily without leaving any trace of residue etc. I am not a big fan of the stick on paper type colour spots so many track day organisers use... they are a bastard to get off, and do little for oraganisational reference other than the pit marshal knowing what group you are in. The vinyl numbers can be made in almost any colur you desire, which gets around those who already have a number on their race glass (like myself). Just as a word of advice, it is easiest to just have numbers 1 thru 60 (for say 3 groups of 20 riders) and steer clear of people "reserving" numbers. If they already have '69' on their bike, the bright orange or grenn or whatever number you give them will easily be identified despite the existing one.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth in the pot....

hehehe....

And as for the numbered handbags, well you people that rides bikes with an underseat 'glove compartment' would know all about it....

But seriously, in my opinion it all comes down to a) how many riders you have, and b) how many of them the organisers know well enough to tell them apart. But hey, its your show, and I'm just a foreigner here for the ride....

So if kiwibiker makes me wear a helmet, full leathers, gloves boots, back protector and all that jazz to keep me safe and tell me not to wear a backpack because it might catch on something, is giving me something to wear that will be gaurateed too big and might get caught on something and cause a safty risk?

Sounds to me like the main problem you had was riders not coming off the track at the end of their session / when flaged off. This is just a suggestion but at the 'motott' trackday on 28july at taupo, everyone lined up at the pit start line and noone was allowed to go on untill everyone from the last group had left the track. This worked very well and would also work for people continuing under red flag, as they would very shortly be the only person on the track and could have their law breaking arses kicked off for it.
