75" Outlaw Pro Street.
75" OUTLAW PRO STREET.
NMRA SERIES: 6 event points series... ( $75.00 entry fee. )
DESIGNATION: OPS, preceded by rider number.
CLASS DESCRIPTION: Outlaw Pro Street was conceived to provide a competitive venue for the fastest production-based no wheelie bar bikes in the country. Motorcycles in this class will have been originally born as showroom factory super bikes, but have since been transformed into all-out dedicated quarter mile racing machines. The bikes factory heritage should still be readily visible, but no equipment necessary for street operation is required.
FORMAT: Races will be a qualified 16-bike field. Qualifying and eliminations will be heads-up, run on a .400 pro tree, with all pro class rules in effect. If any bike is unable to make the first round call, alternates will be allowed to take their place in the ladder, with the first alternate to be the quickest non-qualified legal entrant. Alternates must have completed at least one legal qualifying attempt to be eligible for alternate status. Any rider that does not qualify for the class will be permitted to run Pro E.T. at no charge.
BODY: Gas tanks are required on all bikes, and must resemble a production tank in both location and style. Tanks may be lowered, lengthened, or otherwise altered, but must generally maintain original overall appearance, size, and shape. Tanks need not be functional. In addition to gas tanks, rear bodywork/seat sections are required. Rear bodywork may be extended, but must maintain general overall appearance and shape of original bodywork. Seat may be lowered, but must remain in the same general location as the factory seat. One-piece bodies are allowed. Front fairings and/or headlight buckets are not required, but are legal. If used, front bodywork should closely resemble factory bodywork in size and shape. No aerodynamic devices, such as wings, fairings, or air dams, may be used, unless originally equipped. Engine air inlets or scoops may be added.
BRAKES: front and rear brakes are required.
CHAIN GUARDS: Chain guards are required on all entries.
ELECTRICAL: Any ignition or electrical systems allowed, including nitrous progressives, boost controllers, fuel injection controllers, or data acquisition. No front wheel speed sensors or third wheel speed sensors allowed. No traction control or wheelie control systems allowed. Tether kill switches required on all entrants. Kill switch, when activated, must disable ignition, fuel pump(s) and nitrous system solenoids.
ENGINE: Any engine originally used in a production motorcycle may be used. Any modifications allowed, any transmission or clutch allowed.
POWER ADDERS: Any type of power adders, including nitrous, turbos, or superchargers are allowed. Multiple power adders and intercoolers allowed.
FRAME: Factory OEM frames must be used, no aftermarket frames will be allowed. Any brackets, tabs, braces, mounts, gussets, seat rails, etc. may be moved, modified, replaced, or removed. Steering neck angle may altered, but must remain in original location. Rake may not exceed 40 degrees. Neck may be replaced with aftermarket neck. Subframe and/or seat rails may be modified, but seat must remain in the original forward/aft location. Seat may be lowered, but must have a minimum height from the ground of 20 inches. This measurement will be made with rider on bike and padding compressed. No modifications to main frame or engine cradle will be allowed, except as noted otherwise. On factory perimeter-style frames (including, but not limited to, Suzuki GS, oil-cooled GSXR, water-cooled GSXR, and Kawasaki KZ), engine cradle tubes must remain intact and unmodified; i.e. no cutting, sectioning, splicing, relocating etc. allowed. "Engine cradle tubes" will be defined as the tubes which connect to the steering neck, pass down the front and under the motor, back up behind the motor, and across the top of the motor, reconnecting to the steering neck and/or front downtubes. On steel frames, main backbone tube may be replaced with a tube of larger diameter to facilitate the installation of a backbone fuel cell. On factory spar-style frames (including most modern sportbikes), main frame spars must remain intact and unmodified. "Main frame spars" are defined as the large formed tubes which connect the steering neck, engine mounts and swingarm pivot.
ENGINE SWAPS: Limited modifications to the stock frame will be allowed for the sole purpose of interchanging engine types. These modifications will be limited to the absolute minimum required for the swap. Modifications intended for the purpose of improved weight distribution are strictly disallowed. Race tech has final ruling on this issue, and pre-approval is required.
STARTING SYSTEMS: On-board starting systems required. No external starters, batteries, or boosters allowed. No push-starts.
SWINGARMS: Swingarm-style rear suspension required, no fully welded tail-sections allowed. Any stock, modified stock, or aftermarket swingarms will be allowed. Swingarm pivot location may be moved, but must be within 2 inches of original factory location. Pivot axle diameter may be enlarged. Bikes with working rear suspension are allowed any type suspension system, as long as it utilizes a conventional-style single front pivot. Bikes with solid rear suspension must utilize a bolt-on swingarm, with a conventional style front pivot bolt or bolts. Swingarm may not be welded to the frame in any manner. Swingarm may be attached to the frame and/or subframe, utilizing struts or braces., at a maximum of 6 points, not including the pivot bolt(s).
SUSPENSION: Rear suspension optional. Rigid front forks not allowed, a minimum of 1.5 inches of front suspension travel recommended. Steering dampers recommended, and may be required in the future. 2-inch minimum ground clearance is required, measured with rider sitting on the bike.
TIRES: Motorcycle tires only, no car tires on rear. DOT or racing slicks allowed, maximum width 7 inches.
WHEELBASE: Maximum wheelbase is 75", no over tolerance allowed. Wheelbase will be measured with rider sitting on bike.
GENERAL SAFETY: All motorcycles and riders must pass NMRA safety inspection.
NITROUS BOTTLES: Bottles must be fully enclosed within the bodywork and/or frame rails. Bottles may not be externally mounted to foot pegs, swingarms, etc.
MINIMUM WEIGHT: No minimum weight for the class. No ballast can be mounted to any part of the front suspension (i.e., no ballast can be mounted to triple clamps, forks, or axle).
