I thought altering athe rule to allow a 583 pattern piston would have been a good idea

Also the rule on using Diablo tyres as they may not be available next season

good idea with the pistons Kev

what about allowing adjustable forks in class B ?
theres loads of 900ssie forks (later type showa's) around for sale but no
non adjustables
As we have a 53bhp limit in class B why not free up engine/ignition rules up a bit ?

Can we please have a new rule to reduce the size of 583 riders b@lls so the 620's can keep up

Was thinking of having random testing for excessive Testosterone levels
The feeling is that the older riders along with the female riders should pass without any worries but younger student aged riders will fail and incur a handicap, such as removal of at least one spark plug

Really amazing how much quicker the 583s went this year in October than last year in June.
Fastest lap of the 583s this year was as quick as Rick Fogg's fastest lap on a fast 620 last year, and Foggy is no mug!!

Amazing!

I think a minimum weight limit with bike and rider. As at present a 154kg bike with a 58kg rider, compared to 154kg and Joe average at 95/110kg

Thumbs down drop two rounds?
What are the main reasons for the drop 2 rounds?

I can understand that it could make it cheaper if you want to miss one meeting, but on a safety point isn't it counter productive to say that you can push too hard and crash 'twice' and it doesn't matter?

at the beginning of the year I thought it was a good idea, especially after not finishing two races (due to mechanicals) But, I think a crash should be lost points really.

maybe someone can think of a clever equation.

Also anything that can help me win

just a thought. matt #72

Good idea but I'd have to fasten some helium balloons to the bike, cos that's where all the weight is you know, it's not me, honest!


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Class A needs a serious overhaul....there were no more than 6 regular entrants this year, meaning mostly mixed grids which the faster Class A riders complained about coming up against slower Class B riders......
My suggestion is that Class A be altered thus.....
Class A 620's should be permitted to be tuned to a maximum of say, 75bhp....and for those that dont want to spend the money, allow 900ss carb'd engines in with engine rules as per Class B, ie no modifications......
I also think a combined rider/bike weight lower limit needs to be applied......
I also think the rules that applied this year need policing...how many were dyno'd to check bhp output?
