When has any sport not been serious?

I'm sorry to crush any thoughts you had of it just being a bit of fun, but people won't let you pass with a friendly wave.

This is racing and it matters to everyone where we finish - no matter what anyone says.

[nobody will stuff you into the armco though - its not that serious]

To some, this thread may seem pathetic or ridiculous, but they are people to whom it doesn't concern anyway.

The 583 class (which I believe you're doing?) is more likely to be more laid back - if that's possible. Also any cheating in 583 will be more easy to spot as all the bikes will make around the same bhp.

In the 620 class, some will have 60bhp and some nearer 70bhp, and it's easy to get well over 70bhp if you wanted, and why not 'bend' the rules a bit too if no-one is checking?

The point I'm trying to make is, that as no engines were checked this year, and no parc ferme was used - whats the point in having such tight rules if they're not enforced properly?

May as well say that as long as the engine displaces 583 or 618cc - which is very easily checked - then you can do anything else you like.

You'll soon reach a limit on bhp, and then everyone can go that route if they wish - or do something else!!
