OK, just my thoughts......

If a bike is 'thought to be' non-conforming to the rules after/during the first race, if there is no time to check it - it could complete the 2nd race 'under protest'

Some bikes can be made up on HP, with careful working of PC's/FIM's/exhaust performance systems etc.
HOWEVER: it is the mid range capabilities of the engine combined with the benefits of the added items mentioned, that will, with a good rider make the bike perform noticably better.
To determine what made it 'tick', would be to strip it right down.

This whole series has been on the whole, self policing this year, but AK & I did mention to Chris & Michael that the bikes really ought to have a technical inspector who ensured the DD bikes conformed to DD rules, not just the New Era scrutineering.

Personally, we would be happy to take our bikes to 'approved' dyno's, but never like to put them on mobile ones, as the margin for error on these can be quite alarming sometimes (says AK)

End of me wittering... back to work now......
