The regulations for the two new classes are finalised and are posted in the Eligibility section, they are also downloadable and are included in the 2010 Registration form.
If you are unsure of machine eligibility, please contact me by email to discuss your machine.
I will be at The Moto Salon show in Paris 20-22 November and at the Race Retro show at Stoneleigh 12-14 March if you wish to talk to me in person.
Euwain and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all Seasonal Felicitations
Its a bit quiet, no comments for a long time.
That must mean everybody is happy and beavering away building TR500s, Konigs, TR3s and other affordable IHRO 2 bikes.
And I trust all the single riders are dusting there bikes off and making sure they are ready for next year, especially the riders who stopped coming because of the unfair playing field!!.
I have it on good authority that the rules will be more strictly applied from now on.
So read the rules and make sure your bike is within them.
Lets try to be sensible, maybe you don’t need such a revving /high compression/ high attrition rate / high maintenance single now your not trying to beat the IHRO 2 bikes!!.
For me the best thing that could happen is that the engine spec rules morph into Lansdowne rules over a period of time , in fact it would be fantastic if every country had the same rules so our bikes where competitive everywhere we went!!!!.
Or is that too sensible!!!
I totally agree with Tony regarding engine spec. I’m sure that we would have a much bigger entry if we were all using a more sensible spec.Don’t get me wrong I certainly believe in development of our fine machinery,but not at the costs incurred by using the current high revving engines. I feel I have had a great season on my Seeley using a fairly standard big valve motor.But of course nothings changed since I began racing in the sixties as a teenager,money does talk and sure most of us would go a lot quicker with these short stroke motors,nevertheless lets think about trying a more level playing field. Such are the ramblings a an old man at this time of the year. Best regards to all and I look forward to next season to renew old and new friendships.
