SCHNITZ RACING:
OUTLAW PRO STREET
|
|
SERIES: 8 event
points series run at Rockingham Dragway and Maryland International
Raceway.
DESIGNATION:
OPS, preceded by rider number.
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Outlaw Pro Street was conceived to provide a competitive venue
for the fastest production-based no wheelie bar bikes in the
country. Motorcycles in this class will have been originally
born as showroom factory super bikes, but have since been transformed
into all-out dedicated quarter mile racing machines. The bikes
factory heritage should still be readily visible, but no equipment
necessary for street operation is required.
FORMAT: Races
will be a qualified 16-bike field. Qualifying and eliminations
will be heads-up, run on a .400 pro tree, with all pro class
rules in effect. If any bike is unable to make the first round
call, alternates will be allowed to take their place in the
ladder, with the first alternate to be the quickest non-qualified
legal entrant. Alternates must have completed at least one legal
qualifying attempt to be eligible for alternate status. Any
rider that does not qualify for the class will be permitted
to run Pro E.T. at no charge.
BODY: Gas tanks
are required on all bikes, and must resemble a production tank
in both location and style. Tanks may be lowered, lengthened,
or otherwise altered, but must generally maintain original overall
appearance, size, and shape. Tanks need not be functional. In
addition to gas tanks, rear bodywork/seat sections are required.
Rear bodywork may be extended, but must maintain general overall
appearance and shape of original bodywork. Seat may be lowered,
but must remain in the same general location as the factory
seat. One-piece bodies are allowed. Front fairings and/or headlight
buckets are not required, but are legal. If used, front bodywork
should closely resemble factory bodywork in size and shape.
No aerodynamic devices, such as wings, fairings, or air dams,
may be used, unless originally equipped. Engine air inlets or
scoops may be added.
BRAKES: front
and rear brakes are required.
CHAIN GUARDS:
Chain guards are required on all entries.
ELECTRICAL:
Any ignition or electrical systems allowed, including nitrous
progressives, boost controllers, fuel injection controllers,
or data acquisition. No front wheel speed sensors or third wheel
speed sensors allowed. No traction control or wheelie control
systems allowed. Tether kill switches required on all entrants.
Kill switch, when activated, must disable ignition, fuel pump(s)
and nitrous system solenoids.
ENGINE: Any
engine originally used in a production motorcycle may be used.
Any modifications allowed, any transmission or clutch allowed.
POWER ADDERS:
Any type of power adders, including nitrous, turbos, or superchargers
are allowed. Multiple power adders and intercoolers allowed.
FRAME: Factory
OEM frames must be used, no aftermarket frames will be allowed.
Any brackets, tabs, braces, mounts, gussets, seat rails, etc.
may be moved, modified, replaced, or removed. Steering neck
angle may altered, but must remain in original location. Rake
may not exceed 40 degrees. Neck may be replaced with aftermarket
neck. Subframe and/or seat rails may be modified, but seat must
remain in the original forward/aft location. Seat may be lowered,
but must have a minimum height from the ground of 20 inches.
This measurement will be made with rider on bike and padding
compressed. No modifications to main frame or engine cradle
will be allowed, except as noted otherwise. On factory perimeter-style
frames (including, but not limited to, Suzuki GS, oil-cooled
GSXR, water-cooled GSXR, and Kawasaki KZ), engine cradle tubes
must remain intact and unmodified; i.e. no cutting, sectioning,
splicing, relocating etc. allowed. "Engine cradle tubes" will
be defined as the tubes which connect to the steering neck,
pass down the front and under the motor, back up behind the
motor, and across the top of the motor, reconnecting to the
steering neck and/or front downtubes. On steel frames, main
backbone tube may be replaced with a tube of larger diameter
to facilitate the installation of a backbone fuel cell. On factory
spar-style frames (including most modern sportbikes), main frame
spars must remain intact and unmodified. "Main frame spars"
are defined as the large formed tubes which connect the steering
neck, engine mounts and swingarm pivot.
ENGINE SWAPS:
Limited modifications to the stock frame will be allowed for
the sole purpose of interchanging engine types. These modifications
will be limited to the absolute minimum required for the swap.
Modifications intended for the purpose of improved weight distribution
are strictly disallowed. Race tech has final ruling on this
issue, and pre-approval is required.
STARTING SYSTEMS:
On-board starting systems required. No external starters, batteries,
or boosters allowed. No push-starts.

be within 2 inches of original factory location. Pivot axle
diameter may be enlarged. Bikes with working rear suspension
are allowed any type suspension system, as long as it utilizes
a conventional-style single front pivot. Bikes with solid rear
suspension must utilize a bolt-on swingarm, with a conventional
style front pivot bolt or bolts. Swingarm may not be welded
to the frame in any manner. Swingarm may be attached to the
frame and/or subframe, utilizing struts or braces., at a maximum
of 6 points, not including the pivot bolt(s).
