Bucket rules (or lack, thereof)?

[gatch]

Ola, I've just been dragged into racing classic bikes ( a 57 Dominator). I am not fast enough. As such, a lot of people have pointed me towards bucket racing, which sounds like an absolute blast.

I have in my possession a complete Honda Spada chassis, all it needs is a motor. I was wondering where I could find out what the regulations are for engines, tires etc. I don't know the first thing about whats allowed and what not. Help please

Yes, I did a quick search but only found bits and pieces..

Wicked, cheers for the links team.

While I would love a wee 2 stroke pulling 13k, I think for simplicity sake a Loncin 150 would be adequate for a base..

Looks like I'll be pulling the spada out and giving it a tidy

P to the S - I'm a machinist by trade, so if anyone has an sneaky tips where I can save weight/money, all would be greatly appreciated..

Already had a go at the sub frame with a grinder ha.

Remove the wheels and leave out the engine.

Drill holes in everything to lighten it, ask Speedpro about making a frame light, I bought his old rolling frame and was amazed what had been made hollow!!

if you are not fast enough in classics how the hell do you think you are going to get along in a much more competitive form of racing

na come along you will have a blast
I'm not to fast myself
but I was faster than the classics at Taupo (in the wet)
( I think they where clasics they where red english and 650-750 ish)

So I can learn to race with the best of them

I imagine bucket racing would be cheap as chips depending on how hard out you want to go with your set up..

Yep chepest way to race bikes. Also good close racing, excellent for improving your racecraft and if you nylon the bike up well enough a low stress way to bin the bike on a regular basis and slide down the track. At least that seems to be what happens to me. Most of the mods to my bike have been concentrated on crash proofing, a useful expenditure of time unfortunately, you may be a more talented rider than me (highly likely)
