Should the bucket capacity go up to 250cc?

[dangerous]

this 1000cc jive, I was talking with MCC's X pres the other day and hes serious about removing the valves in 1 pot of a 600 to get it in a lower class, its already been done up north... I think sketchy has raced it or against it?

so its no loughing matter LOL, some clown will do it in F4

Yeah I raced Chris Osbornes 450 (600 with a dropped cylinder) at the NI round of nationals, and it was awesome! An awesome concept and it works the bike was really competitive, but this is trailing away from buckets. The bucket rules work well now there are not really any bikes severely dominating the field which is good. It appears that the fastest bikes are the one people have spent the most time on and that ride them well. Lets face it you can have a rocket ship but unless you can ride the thing you're not going anywhere!

I do have a suggestion that will make those who bigger moters able to have them and won't disadvantage the current racers.

My suggestion:
No limit on engine size.
Maximum carb size 24 mm (or 17 mm for twin carbs)
Maximum exhaust tailpipe diameter 25 mm.



Please explain why. A 1000cc engine with a 24 mm carb wont produce any more power than a 125cc engine with a 24 mm carb. The power output of any engine is simply a fuction of how hard it can breathe multiplied by the pressure increase through heating the air that it is pumping through. limiting the intake and exhaust sizes puts a limit on the HP that can be produced, so why worry if someone wants to use a huge capacity to do that?

Because you say it wont disadvantage current racers, F4 rules allow unlimited carb size for current 4 stroke engines so they are disadvantaged, 2 stroke 100cc unlimited carbs they disadvantaged, 24mm exhaust many bike currently run 28 to 30 mm so they disadvantaged. The only reason that 125 aircooled specifically have a 24 mm carb rule is to level the feild with 100s putting a 24mm carb on a 100 would severly disadvantage them

I say chaps this stupid thread has created much amusement. Haven't laughed so much in ages.

Perhaps Dellorto has some other Ideas he'd like to share.

Most interesting thing to come out of it all is now everyone knows Skunk's a troublemaker.

Woohoo! Up until now I think I was just stupid...

Now I'm a stupid troublemaker.

some clown will do it in F4

Is that a challenge?...

I think you will find a large number of bucketeers do frequent this forum though!

It's good to have ideas and to voice them but you need to stop and think before spouting silly ideas. I used to do the same thing when I was younger and just like you, I got the same response from other posters. Don't sweat it, just think about what your saying before posting it. The very biased consensus is that the bucket rules are absolutely fine as they are don't need amending. If that was not the case, that is when radical ideas like yours might have more merit.

Oh and Skunk stop causing trouble would you.

Jesus! stop posting and start reading.

Sketchy's post above is a good start.

OK, sorry...

For one you don't need a hi HP motor there are more corners than straights on any kart track so try working on corner speed getting in fast and out the same the faster you get on the throttle the longer the straight will be and the faster you will be going at the end of it.

For you South Island boys total disregard this post because the tracks you guys have have more straights than corners.


Keep the rules as they are and ride the bloody bike like you stole it.

I for one have a low HP motor which is fine (low HP low maintenance)
Like they say KEEP IT SIMPLE

OHH... you farking old fart, you oll sticks reckon ya got all the answers dont ya, ill wip ya arse on the track anytime grand dad

I think... trouble would you.

OHHH SK... ya just farked that up!

There are already some stupidly quick buckets, I suppose it depends on how stupid the rider is.

There still has to be reasonable limits, but I was suggesting ammendments to allow the older bikes to remain competitive with the modern bikes. It has been discussed wether the carb limit on F4 2 strokes be increased to 28mm, which is not unreasonable.

Hell im not complaining i have a 125 and a spare 28mm carb....

I know all you fullas are taking the piss at DELLORTO expense, and although I have found it highly amusing, remember he is only young and full of ideas about how the sport could be better.

I know he is way off the mark on this one (and throwing his toys when this was pointed out makes it all the better) but might pay to take it a little easy.

He has a loooooooooooooot to learn.
