Would it be less confusing to call it "Sport" rules instead of Supersport?
Supersport seems too close to Superstock.
Might be easily confused in conversations about the classes (verbal & written)
Abbreiations could be SB,SS,& SP
Maybe I'm overthinking it.......or maybe it's just me getting old with failing sight & hearing
WERA uses "supersport," iirc. Not sure the difference.Quote:

Davis Rod & Cycle will be sponsoring this class. But with a twist. Awards will be random and probably completely irrelevant. And may or may not be give to the winner or even a podium finisher. Awards will however be super awesome.
I like this idea.
I wrote up a quick list to clarify what I think the Grom Challenge should be like because I don't think standard supersport/stock rules really apply. It needs to stay a cheap as possible. That way someone with a completely stock Grom can show up and have a chance to do well.
Here's what I've got so far, I'll keep adding as I think of things.
Things that may be removed:
-Rear fender/license plate mount
-Horn
-Blinkers
-Mirrors
-Passenger pegs
Things that ARE allowed. If a modification isn't mentioned, it is NOT allowed.
-Any DOT tires are allowed.
-Aftermarket exhaust, or modifications to stock exhaust
-Air box may be modified or removed and replaced with a clamp on air filter. If using a clamp on filter a brace must be added to keep the bodywork from flapping.
-Throttle body may be turned around 180 degrees from stock.
-Foot pegs may be replaced with aftermarket pegs. Stock rear sets must remain.
-Aftermarket handlebars will be allowed as long as they use the stock clamp locations (1"7/8 handlebars are allowed as long as the stock riser mounting location is used). NO clip ons, NO clubman style bars, NO broomstick bars.
-Braided steel brake lines are allowed.
-Aftermarket brake pads are allowed.
-Aftermarket brake/clutch levers are allowed.
-Aftermarket shocks are allowed.
-Preload spacers in the forks or stiffer fork springs are allowed.
-Chain and sprocket upgrades are allowed. Any aftermarket sprockets must be stock tooth count.
Safety wire list:
-Front brake caliper bolts
-Front axle
-Rear axle
-Oil filler cap
-Oil drain plug
Tape list:
-Headlight taped with your sprint number displayed (side number plates not required)
-Tail light taped
What about a belly pan on the Grom?
No belly pan required. Show up and race your pitbike.
