MotoAmerica Road Atlanta

Isn't there rule that say you can run any forks from homologated bike. So you just take forks from one of those bikes that happens to have aftermarket cartridges in there
It will match perfectly to that stock shock

 

Hey, you are the expert. Are you saying there should not have been bales there to provide more slide before the air fence? See, I thought, from the camera, that there was no A.F. there, just the wall. That's why I was glad for the bales.

 

No but Barney must had winglets like the WSBK guys then

 

That's what I'm trying to understand, if the rulebook says refer to the list and the list simply doesn't exist should people assume no aftermarket suspension allowed? It gets a bit nuanced because there is a list for brakes but the list is blank which to me implies nothing except OEM or parts homologated for other bikes. According to the list you have to run homologated brake pads!

Again, going by the rules the brake issue is pretty straightforward (nothing but stock or homologated parts from other bikes allowed, shitty but that's the rule) but the suspension can't be correct. Like someone else said in Sam's thread, run stock suspension and protest your way up to 1st place!!

 

At least one of those was Hannah forgetting to turn her mic on. She did it halfway through an interview.

 

If you go with a literal reading of the rule book, no one would be allowed to run any rear suspension including the stock suspension for Twins Cup. The stock rear suspension isn't on the list and you "must only use approved and listed units". So time for some hard tail twins racing! That would certainly make it exciting to see who could ride a hard tail SV650 or MT-07 the fastest.

 

Yeah... this was a new-to-her feature in her kit this year... they have always controlled all audio remotely with beIN the last two years. She won't let that happen again LOL

 

Not really. Approved list is for replacing OEM stuff.

 

I guess you would have DQ'd the entire field for the suspension then as well.

 

That may be true in reality, but 2.8.10.2 doesn't read that way.

So the entire grid should have been DQ'd for not having approved suspension?

 

I guess the overall message then, is to quit racing the MA series and go back to club racing.

 

ohh yes they are Lots of comments regarding restrictions or "will see lots of ducati's in the class soon" . The bike is good Chis, Larry, Al, etc at motocorse build amazing stuff.
The rider... is fuggin awesome.

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Give it more time.
