#if they were they should take a trophy!! After that race I'm surprised many made 50bhp as engines were so hot, especially without an oil cooler

bloke said to me mine was 3rd most powerful of those tested, dont know if that included A class or just B but thnk it was all bikes...not bad for an old road bike with just a jet kit & filter

Think mine made 50.02 SAE which is high 53's DIN

jeez, sounds very good especially if hot after the race, not that I know much (only what others tell me!) but hot engine can lose what, 5% or more of power?

expect mine on a warm run would be 51ish if 49 hot

Sounds like there will be a lot of people losing points

who knows what values come out and how/when do you measure? If at the end of the race, power will be down even if only a little so do you say its its aboce XXbhp, which is on or just under the class limit, it has to be tested again later when cooler and if over, is it disqualification?

could get messy, espcially with dynos reading lost of differnt things!!!

If there is a specified limit and someone is over it, doesn't that disqualify them? And if someone is over at the end of a race with a hot engine, then they will only be more over with a cooler engine.

(just playing Devils advocate)

...and I don't believe it would be right to raise the limit after the start of the season (if that is being considered).

However, you are right Bradders, because how exact a science is dyno testing? Unfortunately, it is written into the rules that we will be tested against a defined limit.
