I know it's goofy but...what would be so hard about having the "burnout box people" stand there and check each bike with a PVC pipe as it comes out of the burnout...
Bike too low??? opponent gets by-run...simple as that...

The ZX12 forks are tappered so...if you raise them too much in the tree-s the BOTTOM tree has to...
HOLY CRAP!!! I'm over 1,000 posts now!?!?!? Big Deal...where was I?
UMMMmmm oh ya...the tree will have to clamp down smaller than intended to hold the forks in place...NOT GOOD for the tree...AND...if not tighened/overflexed enough...the forks can slide up until the freekin fender/tire hits the botton tree (or the pipes/motor hit the ground first)...NOT A PRETTY PICTURE!!!

I know about the taper on the forks of the ZX-12, but you have to lower your forks much more than 2" to get to the taper. But, that taper on the zx-12 can't possibly be the reason for the TXSO 1.5" rule. For the rule to come about there should be a safety issue with all the bikes and not just the ZX-12. I just can't seem to figure out what it is. I was hoping that someone here could fill me in because my forks are lowered more than 1.5" for the dragstrip, and if there is a real safety issue with this, I'd like to know.

And the saga continues......
***************************************
Please pass this info to other 60" racers...I chose names from our address book that have entered in 60" or have shown interest, but I don't have everyone's e-mail address.
Johnny Cheese has volunteered his services to tech and check the 60" class. His only stipulation was for everyone to agree. Also his word would be FINAL on any decisions or disqualifications.
Please respond via e-mail or phone 281.324.2724.

The straps thing too.... And this on the straps.....
*******************************************
I called Jason Miller today about the straps. I don't have a picture to show you, but I will try to describe it to you. When you come to tech, and we need to have a special tech person for this, ground clearance is checked. Then the tech person takes the part of the strap that is remaining, pulls down, towards the ground, and approximately 1" below the buckle a knot like you would tie a tie) is put into it. Then the remaining part is wrapped around the section between the buckle and the bolt on the caliper, (like a telephone cord). Three tie wraps are attached to all this, one at the knot, one in the middle and one at the bottom.
Each pass this same person that teched you will check ground clearance and verify that all tie wraps are still in place. If they are you proceed, if not you are dq'd.
If anyone tampers with the strap past this point, after ground clearance is checked, they would be dq'd.
This would have to be done each round.
This would apply to SBS and 60". The other problem will be to monitor, the S/ET bikes that run straps or S/G...
I would like to have a neutral party to be this tech person. And yes we would need to pay someone, $100.00 or so.
Instead of asking for donations, we could raise the entry $10.00?
