Good point. There is a carry-on in the states about "traditional bellytanks" I keep saying that they can run their own register, it means something to them, they can mange it within the usual bounds of the club/meet.internetscooter wrote:Gary the simple solution is to talk to Greg about allowing enthusiasts to maintain sublists on the dlra.org.au website. The class record will still be the record, but there can be other lists where someone keeps a track of engine type (if they are that way inclined) or anything i.e. unofficial lists.
I was racing MPS/G 250 but the list I was aiming to be the top of is http://www.100mphscooter.com/100_mph_speeds.html - and even there I am initially aiming to only regain the title of world's fastest Vespa - not the overall top speed (yet). The VW's have a similar thing going.
I think something like that would encourage more racing because people can go for PB's of what ever someone else cares enough to maintain a list about
edit: Actually it could be an official list - the way the 100mphscooter list works is people submit official race tickets - so it would be easy to verify the record was real and the list owner only has to deal with people that want to submit their speed to a list.
Now, Ben has conveniently avoided a few points about class but ultimately he's right.ben james wrote: the lone 2 stroke in the 1000cc class probably has around 200 horsepower doing 240 mph ,
the turboed busa's have more than 400,
don't see that much of an advantage there.
Everybody gets a ribbon.
