I am assuming 500GP will retain the drum brake rule? My bike is listed in 500GP but I run a front disc due to F250 with AHRMA.
Maybe - that would be a rules suggestion that could/should be emailed to me. Once my brain stops hurting from this I'll start a thread about rule changes.
I shoulda refreshed before my last reply. So it looks like GP500 will be the drum brake class, and the other combined classes will be disc brake. Ok now I have a direction to build. Mark
Assuming that the majority of blokes in 500GP ride "stock" 350 Hondas isn't there quite a disparity in speed there? Will that also limit the GP class to one race a day?
I don't know how the disparity will be, the laptimes between the V stuff and Clubman don't show a huge one depending on who you look at - but we also had 250's in Clubman going slow that were okay. As always we'll have to play it by ear. It could limit them to one a day depending on speed and what they could ride up to. But at this point there's nothing I can do about it, I cannot keep making a separate entire race for 6 riders.
That is my old faithful DS7 GP350 bike for however long I can find pistons/rings. I can go with either a disc or drum front end at the moment, but I’m hoping maybe Sean will allow the smaller GP350 bikes a disc brake against the bigger GP500 bikes as a way to make up for displacement. A big Triumph twin will eat my 250 for lunch. Mark
Where does F3 race now? I have a buddy that races in F3 and I know they raced with Clubman. Those kids in F3 are definitely that fast ones from that race.
What about V6LW in with Formula 2? I'm not sure what F2 is comprised of (mainly SVs?) but I don't recall those grids being that large.
Okay so neither 350 or 500GP allow discs - any ideas why? I'm not opposed to rule changes if they make sense for the bikes and classes. A lot of the rules that we have made perfect sense at the time too but no longer do with how few people are racing vintage these days.
