Engine Size Questions

How could they enforce that?

Can't race next time until you pay up.

Interesting...A civil dispute doesn't give grounds for disqualifying an entry. Only a dispute with MNZ does that.

So a rider would still have a valid entry within the MNZ system - and might have a case against whoever's administering that class if the bike was withheld from them.

And I've run riders in the past that I'd have liked to send to bed early without pudding....

I suspect some of these bucket racers haven't been around for as long as they think they have.
That was the rule in the early '80's regarding buckets, before Valentino's retarded little brothers started turning up.
It used to be fun until all the dickheads thought anyone cared about the results & couldn't get over there own awesomeness at winning an amateur race on an amateur built bike.
And yes, there was a $9000 bucket on trademe. Only after it was discounted down from $11,000 though.

Well honestly I can't remember it, i started back in 89.
Pretty sure that was the "yellow" ACU book back then.

Money spend in any class of motorsports doesn't guarantee results.
Most of the people that build special buckets do it for personal enjoyment not prizes or results.

I think your point of view about the flash harrys in buckets might carry more weight if you didnt have an MV and a Rickman Metisse though

Which are little more than ornaments.
When I do "race" it's on a stock standard 100,000 km BMW R90 that I've never even taken the heads off yet.
Or on a pink sidecar with a chick riding.

You do know they lost the war aye. (applies to the BMW and pinky)
A clever tuner with a modest budget appropriately spent with a decent rider, will nearly alway reign supreme in buckets, just as in most any other race class.

Crazy Steve might know something about this said $9,000 bucket and all the other $12,000 buckets thats have recently just sold.

I hear he is busy currently selling most bucket racers here in New Zealand.

Wanna know the truth ? Suggest Metal Trousers or Spank Me "UN BAN CARZY STEVE"

That was the rule in the early '80's regarding buckets, . . . .

I got things going here in Auckland in 1983 at Whenuapai. I'm not doing many laps nowadays but I'm still building stuff just because I like doing it. Lots of people built stuff just because we liked doing it. It used to be a regular thing having a late friday night/early morning at Norris Farrow's in Kumeu building stuff with at least 6 or so.

I don't remember the aforementioned rule except when other people were grizzling about me ruining the sport with my expensive bucket, which I might add me and a few mates would usually have built over months for fark all $$$, just lots of time.

Only Australia had the buy out rule
