800 camshaft? Wow, thet's 200 per valve!

A few observations if I may.

If a bike was considered to be of a significant power advantage over others, then a quick run on the dyno would prove this satisfactorily, one way or another.

The need for the organisers to sponsor a rider to protest, suggests they have a genuine reason to force this issue. It may be to stop the paddock rumours, but it may also be a personal issue with somebody who is clearly a better 'racer' than most of the rest of the field and on a well prepared bike? If their motive is purely to prove what a 'fair' series this is, they have ben a little misguided in their actions.

Could this be that they [the organisers] felt this action would lead to a refusal of the owner of the championship winning bike, to strip his engine for inspection, thereby leading to a disqualification by default? If so, they have been left with egg on their faces. Again, a dyno run would have done an equally good job of proving the bike legitimacy, without the disruptions and poor press the series could clearly do without.

Congratulations to Phil and Dom on your champioships.

Thats actually a good idea.....parc ferme the bikes and get them all dyno'd any that stand out surely would have to had some illegal bits added .?....we all have a pretty good idea what is acheivable legally in both 583 and 620.....!!!

hmmm food for thought.......

and thanks for the congrats....

Did I not see the hairnets being dyno'd en mas at Donnington?

[madmav]

Sorry boys and girls I can't see as a dyno would prove or disprove the bike has an advantage,(naughty parts etc) anyone who knows their onions knows that some engines are up on BHP str8 from the factory!
Early 98 R1's were as much as 6 HP across the board!!!!
As an on looker
A. I dont think Antony would be the sort of guy to throw a spanner in the works !
he has done loadsa stuff for this club.

chass I think that the best resolve should be !

The rule should be, If we strip it and find nowt !
then,they THE MANAGMENT pay for the rebuild !
just my 10 p worth

Yes and CB500's too, but they're New Era championships

Yes, I did see a bunch of Hornets being Dyno'd at Donington.

Perhaps not every meeting. If rumours had been circulating since mid-season, why not take advantage of the Dyno at Donington, rather than wait until Snett where deconstruction is required instead?

I guess it's a rhetorical question.........
