The
Mighty Superlites
TMCC SUPERLITE RULES 2009.
The Superlite
class has been a valued class of TMCC Road Racing since it’s inception
in 1998. It offers a superb entry level class to the world of road racing, low
cost and the availability of competitive machinery make the mighty Superlite a
great first choice ( for some , the
ONLY
choice ! ).
These machine are very robust, rarely suffer expensive crash damage and once
set up require minimal maintenance. Chassis limitations reduce any advantage
that may other wise be gained by horsepower increases, so the emphasis is on a
smooth riding style, with a machine that behaves itself most of the time. This
is the 3rd incantation of the Superlite rules for the TMCC, as the
club and class has grown over the years, so the rules have evolved
accordingly.

Amateur.
