September for new rules

Hi peter

Re the proposed rule changes

If any of them happen, they cannot be approved until Sep 1st? is my understanding!

So HOW in 2 months, do all the riders that are interested in the new 600 tuning rules as well as the new Superbike rules, even have a chance of A, Finding the money in time to build such a bike

B- Find an engine tuner with good safe rep to do the work even in such a short time

I believe, we need to race this coming season with current Rules ( And they are cheaper to race under) and have the NEW rules introduced from the DAY the next season finishes, to give people a chance to budget and plan properly.

Please pass this on

Best Regards
Shaun Harris

PS, AGREE OR DISAGREE AND SEND EMAIL TO COMMISION MEMBERS

Ditto to having a calender sorted well in advance of the season start, classes and dates should be finalised by now to allow teams to plan in advance.

As I only sent the email to one of our commisioners at 11-30 am yesterday, I have not had a reply as yet, but have confidence that they will when they can.

PS, thanks for the comment

Funny, Iwrote to them the other week in a similar vein - highlighting the fact that some of us have been building bikes to the old rules with a view to racing nationals in Jan 2011. I haven't heard anything from them.

Must admit that my email was very badly worded and a bit long winded, it also contained lots of stupid questions about tyre rules and some other rubbish, so I'm not surprised I didn't get a response.

nice work Shaun, seems you've put into words what my non-working brain meant to say.

Re write it mate, just focus on the timing side of it.

**lee** · 16th June 2010, 11:36

Yeah, Like I said, I've written to them, I just don't think I was as clear or as to the point as I should have been.

**Maido** · 16th June 2010, 14:01

Because they are taking submissions I would doubt they would reply to them, unless it is just a note to say they received them. I am guessing that they will have all say in rules, after reading the submissions and maybe altering if there is a general concensus that something in their draft rules must change.
I sent mine in last week sometime, I really wasn't expecting to hear back until the final regs were announced. Then we will see the forums rage for about a month afterwards, its going to be fun viewing!
I am just glad someone somewhere is doing something, after listening to everyone here talk about something needing to be done since these forums went online!

Agreed mate

What's the 2 months you speak of Shaun? If rules are ratified Sept 1st then that basically leaves at least 4 months until the end of the year? Nationals are done and dusted for 2010 so would have to be at least 2011 until next Nat's? Not having a go, just wondering if I'm missing something, I'm not the brightest light on the Christmas tree..........

If SBK rules dont change this season, someone on a Honda might get his arse kicked by a stock 1000 hahahahahahahahaha

**suzuki21** · 17th June 2010, 07:59

I believe the extra allowable modifications arent compulsory? Most people will still keep the normal mods untill they purchase a new model - and probably go in the stock class if the cost of SBK scares them. A slow Honda rider told me in the weekend did have a point about the cost to keep up with the jones' (excuse the pun) but that happens in every class now.
At the end of the day the top level riders on SSTK bikes will still spank 2nd tier riders on fully blown supers, so maybe they should cut their own costs back and go SSTK when they update rides, and stop complaining about the top riders having 1000 more horsepower.

Hondas budget was tight with no money for serious engine mods. But I do applaud that they were out there racing and Craig certainly kept everyone entertained, on track, off track and in the sandpit!

I thought they had some serous mods??? converting four strokes in too two strokes??? well judging by the smoke puffs coming out the exhaust?
