I ammended my earlier post and as far as the Parkitt Dyno goes we will probably be looking at a Class A figure of 60bhp (SAE) and a Class B figure of 49bhp (SAE)
I say probably as there is no intention of changing the stated limits in the rules which are Dynoject corrected DIN figures of 65bhp for Class A and 53bhp for Class B. Its just a matter of making sure the correct figures are used and applied to everyone
When the figures were incorporated into the rules they were considered a fair amount of horsepower that should be acheiveable by many and although money and a good tuner could get you more the series is not about who can afford the best tuner its about being the best racer and having a even and fair playing field
as the rules say
***Dyno Testing – when available the intention will be to Dyno test the top 3 finishers in each class and a few at random, if tested after race 1 you will not be tested again after race 2 instead the next highest finisher shall be tested.
Dyno testing is carried out at the bike owners risk and refusal to be tested will result in disqualification from the results for that meeting***

But you are using the results from Brands to "calibrate" readings. If this calibration exludes some machines tested as over-powered, surely they should be exluded from the results? Or will they just get exluded from future results? That is assuming there are people that were tested over the equivalent 53bhp.... but if they were, surely a line should be drawn and the exlusion start from day one?
btw, I don't know if anyone was tested over. As I say, I think mine was 48-49 (presumably the lower of the DIN/SAE figures, so equivalent to about 52ish adjusted?). I just think it would be useful if we knew where we stand, what calibrated dyno figure is the equivalent of our limit, and if there is any tolerance on that. For example, let us say it is 50bhp (unajusted), with a tolerance of +1?, so anyone testing over 51+bhp is disqualified. Because if Bradders was 50, a minor variation in contitions could see him creep over 50 (if that was the non-adjusted limit), but I don't think it would be fair to exlude him at 50-51, because it could just be tolerance in the test.
I know you haven't had time to properly look at it, but I think it would be useful to lay out the intentions of the test over the next few weeks so there are no surprises at Mallory.
