Mid-Season Rule Revision For
PST Nitrous Bikes
There have been rule changes in the Orient Express Pro Street class to help
close the performance gap between the nitrous bikes and the turbo bikes for
the last decade. The nitrous bikes were given many advantages in the
rulebook, and left the turbocharged bikes handicapped to try to achieve
parity in the class.
Then during the 2011 season a few nitrous teams finally closed and surpassed
gap with the rule advantages and it showed on the track. In an effort to
help bridge the gap between the two different combinations the nitrous bikes
lost some but not all of their rule advantages. The turbocharged bikes were
also given the same wheelbase options as the nitrous bikes and a slight
weight reduction. There has been much debate in the off-season of the new
rule changes in the Pro Street class, and MIROCK officials have been keeping
a close eye on intervals and each combination's performance since the rule
changes went into effect at the end of last season...

Friday Daytime Testing at
MIR before MIROCK Events
The Fridays before MIROCK events at MIR in 2012 will now

This will make things easier on the MIROCK racers traveling for the events.
Also there will be no more lunches on the Fridays before
