what catogory????

Post by gsxrupon01 »

hi all Andrew here (member-905) i raced in the p/p catogory last year with my red gsxr 1000 to get some experience and mainly because my other bike was not ready yet.... (you might remember the ROOTING van :) so here is details of my bike a 1000cc turbo charged suzuki running a modified frame and modified fuel it has a set of race fairings on it and im not sure which class i should be in after reading the dlra handbook many times im still lost as to weather i would be in m/g 1000 or m/f 1000 all help would be appreaciated as i know the final call is mine and im hoping to be very competitive this year and dont want a protest to go in after all this hard work.... cheers andrew

I'll have a go to start things off.
1000cc turbo charged suzuki running a modified frame and modified fuel it has a set of race fairings on it
Frame Type - It will either be M (modified) or MPS (Modified Partial Streamlining) This depends upon the race fairings being considered factory or custom / aftermarket and if your not running things like factory lights, handlebars foot pegs. This is where you will need to talk to the Bike Stewards.

Engine Type - BF (Supercharged Engine : Fuel)

So it will be either M/BF 1000 or MPS/BF 1000

Existing Records
M/BF 1000 is open
MPS/BF 1000 174.536MPH
Keep the shiney side up........

i think it would be mps/bf1000.
what frame mods are you planning. would determine the class .
i imagine it would have to be fuel because gas is only for pump fuel i think.
sounds good.

i think if you extend it 6 inches or more you have to go in special construction class a
then it would be aps/bf1000.
from my observations extended swingarm will only be of use if you want to really lower the bike.

if you extend the wheelbase "more" than 10percent , it will put you into "A" class (A= altered) 8) ,,
I wouuld suggest that you give Garry Baker a call before you start chopping and fitting,, Gary is the DLRA bike scruteneer (spelling), a very aproachable bloke, an he will steer you straight :wink: ,, have a look around on this site to find a contact for him,, in the meantime welcome to LSR, and seeyou at Gairdner :)
