Texas Mile Tech Rules
Get Ready Fellas!
New addition to tech rules should be coming out soon. You may see them posted and then change a bit as they are still working out the details, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.
Safety wire drain plug (maybe front axle pinch bolts, still in the air)
No more tip Over switch. Landyard/kill required
Painters tape for body seems
If your leathers don't zip together then you don't ride
Probably require metal chain guard. I did not hear him say it at the time but he has told other people
the next time they come he wants to see it on the bike.
Just a heads up to be watching for, so you do not get caught off guard and can check their site on a regular basis. I remember when they sprang the steering damp thing a couple weeks before the mile and it was a little bit of a struggle to get one in time and put on. Would hate for someone to show and have to change fresh oil to drill a drain plug, or other stuff.
Remember these are not set in stone yet, its just a heads up, so don't go calling the Mile people, beacuse most of them don't even know yet. Be patient and just keep an eye on the site.

Again You do not have to do any of this now as it is currently not on the rules. Just a heads up.
Metal instead of like the plastic one that usually comes from the factory. If you want to be cool like everyone else then get one made by Guy at tiger Racing. If your an idiot like me then cut one up and install it...............................................but it just might shave the side wall on your brand new tire while going down the highway!
They were discussing duct tape..................................................but they thought they would be nice and just have people use painters tape. I think the reasoning behind it would be so that it would decrease the likely hood of air getting in a crack and blowing the plastic off at 200mph. There might be some video on U-tube where that has happened.
Remember, I am a nobody and was just a fly on the wall when the tech guys were discussing new rules.

putting tape on sure would look bad IMO... i can see the need for a metal guard, saftey wire, and the dead man switch

as far as the 1350 class goes, that everything 1350 and under, or 1349 and under? or are they that specific? my goal is to build something maxed out for this class with a custom stroked crank next year...

I think that class is for SCTA and ECTA. I do believe its 1349 and under or 1350 and over,
but I could be getting confussed.
Pick up a New Rule Book to be sure.
I do believe the Mile only has a class that goes up to 1250 and over, but I could be wrong again.

I don't think what I said was right, on SCTA and ECTA. If you are a specific amount of cc or under then you can run in that class and any class above, but if you are over that specific cc then you have to run in the next higher class.
I should have said 1350 and under.
I doubt if the way I explained it can be understood, sorry.

The bike runs strong. Just no juice.....................................................................yet.
JC will figure it out, he always comes through.
When the bike was on the dyno with all these wires hanging everywhere along with 2 PCs
and 2 EFIRS someone made the comment that it finally started to looked like Georges bike.
The Old 12 runs much nicer in the corners, bike and rider no longer get upset
when it use to cut out right around 4k.

hey gary,
if that 4 k gremlin remains a mystery it shouldn't bother you at the mile, eh?
you only spend a micro-sec at exactly 4k.

You can still run in TX Classes. Displacement breakdown helps 12s get recognized. E class is 1001cc to 1250cc. F class is 1250+. Within each class they distinguish naturally aspirated vs power adder (PA). EPA class record is held by yours truly, for now. I'm sure as more modded 1000s and 12s come out of the woodwork the numbers should go up! Who knows, maybe Dough Meyer will bring out his stock 12 with a muzzy and bump the record up.
