This link will take you to the MA site and details their intentions for the future of classic roadracing. Rather odd that MA havn't posted this info considering they previously undertook to be more open and support forums like this one.

Any reference to the Historic Road Race Commission is a sole reference to Keith Roberts.

It would appear as if we now need to prove that the particular motorcycle was raced in the same configiration in the nominated period in Australia or overseas or it is a replica of such a proven machine. Exemptions may be issued if the components used can be proved to have been generally used within the nominated period.
I have been advised that this rule can or will be interpreted to read that bits never used in racing in the period can be used because they were available for road bikes. But that interpretation seems to go against the earlier part of the machine.
So I ask that a clarification of " generally used" be given or maybe it needs to read "available"
I am aware that any possability of interpretation causes a battle.

| well its here at last, the philosophy of doom that ross martin & co thinks will fix up classic racing and make it how they want it. not even the ma stooges who post on this site could think that any good could come of this. now its time for guys everywhere to say to these idiots that enough is enough. unless you got a book of evidence on your bike that says it was raced way back when then your screwed. sidecars are virtually iliminated, the big bore hondas and other mix and match stuff are gone, even a fair dinkum bike from the time wont get in unless its got a pedigree that says it was raced. how some of you people can keep bowing to ma when you knew this was on way is weird. some guys here rekon anything from the commish meeting is dead coz al kidd quit and wont say the minites are true, which I spose means theyre not if thats why he quit, so they have to find some new commishs and have another meeting to make it legal. you can be church mices and get screwed over by people who dont/cant even ride or stand up for what you rekon is right. I got a feeling that ross martin & co might be the ones who get screwed this time becoz what they are trying to do is just wrong. |

Suggested rule changes for 2006
In the first quarter of this year, Motorcycling Australia (MA) invited submissions, from any party, for suggested alterations, deletions and/or additions to the General Competition Rules for 2006 - across all disciplines. General points of discussion were also welcome.
Those submissions are now available for comment and consideration, and must be forwarded to MA, with a copy to your relevant State Controlling Body (SCB), before July 31. The contact details for the SCBs can be found by clicking here.
The submissions are attached, with Road Racing and Classic Motocross still to come.

It appears all's not lost yet, get those keyboards tapping and let MA know what you think.
In any organisation, rules, philosiphies must be altered from time to time. Somebody, in their wisdom thought these proposals were valid. Just because you dont agree with them (not saying I do), doesnt mean they should be silenced. These alterations have only been submited for consideration, not set in stone as law.
So if you dont agree with the proposals, or even if you do, you should let MA know how and why you feel this way. Not sure about what kind of numbers are needed to sway MA, so everyones opinion is important. No good just bagging everbody, a polite letter to MA, cc to your SCB, explaining your concerns/ alternatives, and you never know! |

Well said Yamaman, if every licence holder sends in their response to MA in particular to the philosophy thats being proposed they will have to surely listen, if not there would be a good case for a vote of no confidence in either the Commission, the Management of MA or the Board itself.
There has been over a thousand Log Books issued which in anyones language means that even with the multiple bike owners there are a large number of Historic Racers that should be trying to have their opinions heard. Just a thought for each State to get organised and submit responses and maybe a petition from each state copied to the Board.
This sort of action is far better than sitting back whinging or abusing each other.
OK I am off my soap box and am off to watch The Bill.

hi
bore hondas will always be around, if the rules say anywhere in the world, them in 1971 you could buy a 970cc kit, add your 5% over bore you get 1018cc so any who wants to race a 1000cc s.o.h.c, only needs to follow this link for proff of the kits availablity, in p4 times.

| thats good stuff andrew, its the kind of stuff thats needed. the ma stooges will find something wrong with it but the more people that stand up to be counted with any sort of info that bags the philosophy of doom the better. |
