Re: Rule change proposal- weight sheet as part of scrutineers

Greg, The Committee is committed to increasing the safety level of all race vehicles/bikes. The risks seems to be greater over 200mph and as the Rule Book uses this threshold for a number of other rules it seems convenient to adopt this speed, but again open to discussion. There is no talk of a 'cut...

Re: Trent Clare

I received a message from Colin today to say Trent is still having difficulties of one sort or another. It will be a long and slow process so all our thoughts and prayers will be necessary for some time to come. Colin wishes to thank everyone for their ongoing concern.

Re: Shaguar

Well that certainly gets me 'happy in the pants', as the term goes. We are shorting out whether we should/can stroke it slightly and the new rod length that will ensue. It looks like new pistons as well to bring the comp up to methanol requirements as the original comp was 7.1:1 when I ran it on pet...
