*** SFLMiniGP & SCMiniGP Specific Rules***

SLIDERS SLIDERS SLIDERS

The metals parts on your bike that can potentially hit the ground need to be protected. We can not risk losing access to tracks due to poor tech inspections and poor bike prep.

At a minimum the following is needed:

  • Axel sliders
  • Peg sliders
  • Handle bar end guards (hand guards or bar ends)

If you lay your bike over on its side and something metallic is touching the ground....it needs to be protected.

WARNING: Should it be observed by any of the track officials, flaggers, or staff that there are hard parts dragging from your race bike, you will be black flagged.
