Red light mounting

[jellywrestler]

Just an FYI

the performance of the lights at HD for Rd1 of the Suzuki Series varied heavily in performance.

it was hard to get to sleep on saturday night with all the discarded ones around the track and in the grass like fucking xmas lights.....

So I could save $15 and just walk around the track after a meeting then??

1mm of centre is fine but to which side ??????

[wharfy]

I don't go fast enough to make spray....

We did...sprayed fibre-glass all over turn one

Not sure it would matter which side,As long as its visible from the rear.

Not sure that 1mm will be sufficient,Still there always gonna be some clever bastards... aren't there,Not sure what you'd be trying to achieve other than being disruptive for no real reason when some folks are just trying to make it safer for all,Some folks just can't help themselves

[peril 787b]

Sounds oversize, might have to protest him

You'd be talking about Lovells one. It's massively oversize...
Although since it's internationally recognized and approved you'd think it'd be okay.

Why is there a maximum size? Surely a minimum would be sufficient and if someone wanted to use a large light (and carry the extra weight) that choice ought to be up to them, providing it wasn't ridiculously oversize of course.

Prob in reply to my comment but I think the rule is really good. The lights make a huge difference and the good LED ones are easily visable through the spray regardless where is mounted. Ill have to read the rules but are they allowed to be flashing?

I have mine flashing, but then I'm only going slightly faster than a lighthouse....

Just make 'em all run 5 degree swingarm angle and a cast iron hugger with whiskers on the bottom like a Road Train to keep the spray down - give 'em something to grizzle about mate

i say the flaps like the speedway GP bikes run will be fine,

PS: you found out what my time was up the bluff hill was?

The reason for the max size is the danger of large pieces of sharpened material on the track in the event of a crash,Thats why we insist the original lights are taped up or removed in the GCRs.

No Choppa it was in reply to John....err I mean Waynes post,Flashing or static it's your choice as I stated in the reply to Deano earlier

Your just being silly now,Now go for a jog up bluff hill and see if you can find the time Scott's looking for

[scrivy]

Maybe this thread should be recalled 'Red Light Munting'????

Hasn't beaten mine from '88 yet, no point. He did pretty good for a Pig Island Bluff Hill virgin though .......

Although the road surface is now flat like a pool-table compared to what it used to be like, and all the trees that made it like riding inside a tunnel are gone, the fast boys ( and that's anybody low 50's and under ) have my respect .....
it aint that easy to go that fast up there, plenty have tried and failed
