Re: REVISED Addition to the BUB Supplemental regulations.
For clarification, please make the following change to the AMA Racing memo with regards to the BUB Supplemental regulations, dated June 29, 2010
Replace rule 5.J, Open Class, page 30, and rule 7.G. Open Class, page 33, which states:
“Open class motorcycles do not permit streamlining. Streamlining is anything that has the purpose of directing, controlling or limiting the airflow around the motorcycle and/or rider, or is placed to reduce aerodynamic drag. Fenders must meet criteria in rule 7.D. to be excluded from this rule.”
With the new rule:
Open class motorcycles do not permit streamlining. Streamlining is anything that has the purpose of directing, controlling or limiting the airflow around the motorcycle and/or rider, or is placed to reduce aerodynamic drag. Fenders must meet criteria in rule 7.D. to be excluded from this rule.
Any aerodynamic aid at the rear of the motorcycle (including the riders seat/tail section), shall not extend past the most rearward edge of the rear tire, should not be higher than 5 inches above the lowest section of the top of the seat cushion or seat base if no cushion is used, nor shall it be wider than the rider as viewed from the rear. The rear wheel (excluding the tire) must remain visible at all times as viewed from the side.
If the seat/tail section does not meet the above standards, the Chief Technical Steward will determine its legality by observing the motorcycle and rider in a race position to determine if the seat/tail section is an aerodynamic aid.
The primary seat area of the motorcycle must be covered at all times.

AMA has releases some rule changes regarding Tires and Aerodynamics:
For clarification, please make the following change to the current 2010 BUB
Supplemental Regulations.
Replace rule 2Q, page 23, which states:
“The rider has the sole responsibility of ensuring tires are rated for the appropriate
speed and for inspecting the condition of tires before and after each run.”
With the new rule:
“The rider has the sole responsibility of ensuring tires are rated for the appropriate
speed and for inspecting the condition of tires before and after each run.”
As a result of the rapid evolution of technology and the increased speed that it
brings, it is recommended that when choosing tires for the event, the rider
choose a set that is rated for speeds higher than the class record. Due to the
changing technology of tires it is also recommended that if the rider has any
questions he/she should contact the tire manufacture to ensure that they are
using a tire that meets the speed requirements needed. Riders may also contact
BUB Racing at (530) 477-7490 with questions regarding tires and how to locate
special tires.

below the seat base by more than 1 inch.
