CMX/CDT Rider Back Numbers

[gt96]

Given the controversy over 2014 MA requirements for rear chain guards for CMX/CDT for 2014  (http://forum.ozvmx.com/index.php?topic=32985.0), noticed that the rider back numbers appear to be applicable now.

2013 general rule was:
12.6.5
Back Numbers – Seniors and Juniors
12.6.5.1
No junior or senior may compete without back numbers, except in Enduro, Moto-
Trials, Road Racing or interclub/closed to club competitions
unless wearing the machine identification number on their back
in contrasting colours and with a minimum size of 125mm height and 20mm width of
stroke

2014 CMX/CDT now has:
16.9.2 Back Numbers
16.9.2.1    No competitor may compete in any competition unless wearing the machine identification number on their back in contrasting colours and with a minimum size of 125mm height and 20mm width of stroke.

Is this likely to be enforced in club competition?

The requirement for a back number was always there.  It was just in "all disciplines".

OK, here we go again. I've been racing on and off for over 40 years and have managed to make it without a number on my back. I know why they're now insisting on it but in this era of transponders it seems to me to be a bit superfluous and a few decades too late .  My whingeing isn't going to change things however, so where can I get numbers put on my jerseys (screen printed, iron on??) It's more the inconvenience of having to get it done that bothers me more than the actual number itself.

All i do is print the numbers out on a sheet of paper and laminate it
I then zip tie it to my body armour...
As for putting it on a jersey...
Well i reckon you might need a plan "B"...

I don't wear external body armour Vandy, I wear an Axo Air Cage under my jersey. Anyone got a good plan B ?

An old school bib,  The ones we used at the Nats cost $12.00 each and the wife did the artwork.  We only had 20 made  all with different numbers on

Or slide down to the  AFL or NRL shop and buy a couple of numbers and iron them on yourself..about $5 each last time I bought some..

Brilliant solutions, thanks to both of you

With big respect for Barry's Bibs which were an outstanding way of spotting the West Aussies at the Nats, I prefer Brian's iron on solution. I've worn bibs in the past and found them hot and slightly uncomfortable to wear, blocking out the air flow. Even though I'll be riding only dirt track I need as much air on my fat gut as possible .......plus I've got some cool period jerseys I'd hate to hide with a bib. Now I just have to find a footy or sports outfitter shop.

True, true, but I think the rule says the number on the rider has to match the number on the bike.

If so with this plan "C" it would be easy to loan you buddy a race ride, particularly if you are dramatically different in physical stature(size).

Just wondering out loud, which reminds me,,,,,,,,,,,change thread.

Most CofCs and lap scorers accept that if you are changing bikes you may not be able to change back numbers.  Just ask them when you request a change of machine.  Most officials will work with a rider when they are treated with respect.
