NZ/Aust Post Classic rules

[markc]

A mate of mine in Australia wants to build a 750 or 1000 Post Classic bike that he can compete with in both NZ and Aust.

Whose rules does he need to follow to ensure that his bike is usable in both countries ?

Thanks, Mark

Tell him to build the 1000, the cut off for "Post Classic Senior" is 600cc, so if you have a bike bigger than 600 you may as well have a 1000

chapter 25 for our rules

have a look here for OZ stuff http://www.hmrav.org/
there's a NZ contingent who go over each year to race in Oz, might be worth trying to get a hold of one of them, perhaps through AMCC or look through this forum for a contact

Thanks for the info.

Isn't there an issue with a difference in the date periods ?

In NZ we have Period 82 (= Pre. 83) and in Aust. I think it's Period 1980 (= Pre. 1981).

Is this correct ?

Looks like it could,although we allow bikes from outside that period if they were in production after the cutoff date but not updated so they may do the same,they were doing a class called "New Era" which was 1981 on

Just found this on the Historic racing forum

Currently the rules are set to the individual countires current rules. The differences between each set of rules are considered not to give an unfair advantage over one group or another.
The rules were well canvassed amongst experienced people well before the event to try to get them right. Currently people are happy with them.
Basically, there are differences with wheels, tyres, fork size and ages that all seem to balance out.

I shall take on board your ideas.
Currently only the UK, NZ and Aussie riders take place in the Challenge and each rides under their own coutries rules. It works very simply.


still pay to check properly though

Hi, we had a chat about this at one of our committee meetings, and the general rule of thumb is that as long as the bike meets the criteria in its home country then it will be fine. This was specifically in regard to taking bikes over to Phillip Island, but I'm sure it works both ways.

The Post Classic Racing Association (PCRA) of NSW have added two new classes. They are the "New Era 1 and 2". NE1 bikes are made from 1981 - 1990 and NE2 bikes from 1991 - 1995. All the details can be found here:
