Having talked to the Cheif Scorer last year and seen it for myself when I was in the tower, many bikes last year had numbers on them that did not conform to the EMRA rules, and were impossible to read. If the lap timing/scoring system went down and manual scoring was required, racers with illegible numbers might not be scored. In addition, identifying a racer for safety reasons (like a black flag) is more difficult for the track workers. I would like to see this rule enforced for next year to make bike identification easier for the track workers and spectators. If I race next year I will bring masking tape, a can of white spray paint to the track and will paint on white backgrounds for you. I don't know how much the standard dirt bike numbers cost to buy but they are the easiest solution and conform to the size rerquirements. Many bikes have small or split frontal areas, so some adjustments may have to be made.
EMRA rulebook:
Race numbers should be large (8” or more, 1” wide, & 1” white stroke) and clear for the purpose of lap scoring.
Number plates should be:
•Novice - Red number on white background
•Intermediate - Red number on white background
•Expert - Black number on white background
