Before I venture into the realm of the CCS forum and set things off on the wrong foot, I was wondering if you fellow Ninjette folk have knowledge on how tech might interpret permanent. I'm a newb thinking about trying some local and CCS 300 racing next season.
The CCS rulebook includes:
Quote:
5.2.23 All 4-stroke machines must be equipped with a fluid catch pan of
sufficient size and heat-resistant material to contain the contents of the
crankcase in the event of an engine or crankcase failure. Minimum
capacity of the fluid catch pan is to be 3 quarts.
E. Repairs to fluid catch pans must be made with a permanent method
such as fiberglass. (Tape, caulk, silicone or other non-permanent
methods are not permitted.)

My lower has a kickstand cutout, and might look suspect for retaining 3 quarts (if tilted to the left, definitely not). I would prefer not to buy another lower, due to cost and limited storage space.
My initial thought on a "permanent" fix that I can relatively easily remove for trackdays:
-a piece of fiberglass sheet and a rubber sealing trim on the inside of the lower to seal the cutout.
-three bolt and nut fasteners on the front, back, and bottom of the sheet to make it "permanent" to the lower and meet 5.2.11.

Anyone have initial thoughts? Or is it a clear no-go?
Thanks!
