I ran into Dennis Law from Firebird at the mall yesterday. He wanted to be sure the bike class knew Firebird would be enforcing the NHRA requirement for metal valve stems on 11.99 and quicker. I know this isnt the first youve heard about this but I do know there was some talk about whether or not Firebird would actually enforce it or let it slide. From what Dennis was saying the track officials are pretty fired up about it . So save yourself some hassel and change your stems before opening day.


IMO...stupid rule! Among others out there.

Is that just a bike rule or any vehicle running 11.99 or faster?

I was kinda wondering if they would enforcing it or not....

Ive got mine changed over already!

From what I have ben told it has ben a rule for several years. It was originally written for cars, but doesn't exclude motorcycles or say it is specifically for cars. I havn't looked at the exact wording or rule myself.
It has never really ben enforced on motorcycles and was starting to be mentioned at the end of last year at some d6 races.
so at this years d6 tech inspectors meeting they mentioned it and said it is to be inforced this year.

I have yours and Chris' in my truck. Gonna drop them off in the next day or 2 if you guys are home.

Dennis at Cyclone Cycles has several sets, in both sizes for anyone that needs them. I told him that firebird was requiring them this year so he ordered a bunch. He can get them in several colors also.

The only thing he said was its required on all tubeless tires. I would assume that includes cars but Im not sure.

Did you find the ones I dropped off?

Rokkit_Science

Haha I didnt know thats what those were when I saw them by the door. Chris picked them up.

Thank you! Ugh Im so ready to race!

Do I want to know what you thought they were?? Also do you have a street wheel too, or just the 1? I had to buy 2 pairs for me so all 3 of my wheels would match, so I have 1 extra valve stem.
Kinda sucks when your street bike and race bike are one in the same lol

Rokkit_Science

No I just have the one wheel with the sh!tko tire. Bought a 600 for a new streeter this year.

My sister will need a set though.

Pimpit

Dennis at cyclone has them for like $10 or $9 something. I just have the 1 extra since you have to buy them in pairs. I already bought 4 pairs lol.

Soon as my dang parts show up maybe we'll take a ride over to cyclone.

What parts you waiting on.
