Title: what are your thoughts
Post by: harris on August 26, 2007, 11:16 AM
late 80s to mid 90s frame sets
having their own race along side
but still seperate to old school.
as it seems there is a gap that might bulster
attendence and a bigger meeting.
a list of frames that can only be used maybe even parts.....your thoughts 
it might even help you all with a little longer recovery time between motos

I like your thinking Dan, anything for a longer gap between motos :daumenhoch:

Tbh Dan, the late 80s frames are welcome in the series as long as they comply with the 1" and caliper brake rules. I have only seen 1 mid school race bike line up with us, and that was a GT fueller. I am not sure there is enough Mid race bikes and riders about?

it was only a thought ,
as i bet alot of mid school frames are hanging up with nothing to do.
so i was just seeing if they might get out to stretch there legs.

You guys have it pretty much spot on in terms of rules and regulations - keep it nice and simple to attract more people.  I don't think it matters what year the bike is from as long as it meets the 1" shafted stem and caliper brake that doesn't work rule.

Mid-school was really the start of new school (e.g. the GT Fueller mentioned above had a 1.125" clamp-on stem and canti-lever (pre-V-brake) mounts, and a lot of those bikes would still be good by today's standards (e.g. Fueller, S&M Holmes & Dirt Bike, etc).

Im keen on the "old schools" stem and brake rule. As has been said, it keeps it simple.

I say, get yourself a nice mid school bike (some were A-head and most were 990 / canti) and bust that bad boy in NS class! Im sure we would all get our asses kicked but it would turn a few head on the gate and what better way to get faster on the track!

Dan ... you first!

my idea was never to mix up mid and old guys 
it was just to incorporate a bigger gathering thats all   no probs dan
