Yep, a useful addition :-)

I wonder if, just for fun, anyone would be interested in riding the junior events on their DD bike........

Apparently last year an SV650 Minitwin came second in a 6hr 600 class race. Doesn't sound like a DD 620 would be totally outclassed!

It doesn't look like there is a class for it in the Junior event.

1000cc Open
600cc Open

...unless you're thinking of a 583??? :o

I may be reading it wrong though.

Junior 2 hour endurance, twin cyliders over 600 and up to 750, 2 bikes required as there is no fueling, just need to swap the transponder over and send out a team mate on the other bike

or

Have I misunderstood

I did post a question about that on the Hottrax forum Skids. I was told that I could run one bike (the 748) but would have to fit it with a fueling rig. Link to the forum. (http://upriteracing.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=536)

[edit]
BUT now I read the rules it definitely seem like running one bike is prohibited as is fuelling in the pit lane... and there's no mention of allowing 750 twins... bugger!

Check out the wording under Junior 600

Junior 600cc

4 cylinder over 400cc to 600cc

3 cylinder over 600cc to 675cc

2 cylinder over 600cc to 750cc

Number plates: White background, Blue numbers

No engine tuning but anything goes as long as the bikes conform to the ACU regulations

A minimum of 2 bikes and 2 riders in required for this championship. 3 bikes and 3 riders are allowed.

1 bike is not allowed as refueling during the race is not allowed

The transponder is taken from 1 bike and put on the other at the pit stop.

Maximum riding time is 30 minutes per rider with a 15 minute break before that rider is allowed to return to racing

Ah... there's definitely some discrepancy going on here. The rules I saw (http://www.hottrax-motorsport.co.uk/downloads/Junior%20Endurance%20Sporting%20Regulations.pdf) doesn't have the classes described as such (and say the 600 class have red numbers on a white background...). Some clarification needed I think!
