Need clarification: so ALL bikes have to have a red light at the back even when it is not raining? I dont really have an electrical system on my bike. Is it ok to just strap a Nicad in the tail to run the light?

Also, it appears that I can run a full on 125 in F4 now but not a Moto 3 bike. They are comparable but the Moto 3 bike (which I have a Moriwaki 250) is forced to race with F2. Correct? If so, what makes the 125 appropriate for F4 but not he Mori?

Great rulebook. The only part I dont like (besides those silly tail lights) is the penalty point system. That seems ripe for tension between riders and the RD. Glad it his problem. :burnout:

strike my question about the Moriwaki please. I see the difference now. The Mori is equivalent to a power valve 125 so I see that it would be illegal for F4.

Chris, the red light rule says a separate power source is okay. It DOES read as though it must be mounted at all times even with no chance of rain.

The most interesting change to me is the allowance of work during an endurance red flag

Meh, just like those brake lever guards, its a solution looking for a problem but its not a big deal. It may not end up pretty but I can get a light on there with a 4 cell nicad. I just have two hopes; that it can last 8 hours and that I never need to use it. :astrosmiley:

I think the most significant change in the rules is the 75% rule. That changes everything considerably. A single DNF will most likely end somebodies chance of a championship. I don't understand why this change is being implemented. Can somebody give some feedback on this please??

You do understand that you get points even if you DNF as long as you ran 75% of the laps before you drop/crash, right?

I can't help you with "why", just want to be sure you understand the 'how' ;-)
