race number sizes

[bigtone]

can someone tell me what the regulations sizes are for race numbers? are they same size for nose cone and seat unit and are the regs strictly enforced?

I can't remember what the size is, but you'll be able to get them at the circuit next week

I'm sure this was covered in the ACU handbook in huge details previously, and Bemsee defo made a big deal about it in 2007, with the scruits picking up the biggest offenders - that'll be Rangi then....

Don't think there's been quite so much focus since then though - as long as your numbers are white and clear they're ok. I've ran slightly smaller rear numbers in the past with no problem, even with an itallic font and a shadow line, both of which aren't supposed to be allowed.........

I've looked into this recently. It is covered in the ACU handbook.

Regs are: 6" or 15mm tall numbers, matt white on a green background for your 250, same size all round Tone.

I'm going to run 125mm or 5" numbers as they will look better on my new plastic. As long as the number can be clearly read by the marshals it'll be fine imho. A few bikes have smaller numbers but are clear and have had no problems.

Ebay is your best bet, I got 110 numbers (10 of each) for a tenner and have had them made in 125mm slize, Your welcome to some of them fella.
