For those that care about such things there is movement 9finally) to get the present NE1 PCRA class ratified as a bona fide Historic class next year, its gunna look somewhat like this:
2 weeks ago the MA Historic commission got together and set up a draft rules set for P6 which is based on the GCR’s of 1989. It is still planned to have NE up and running in 2011.
The next step is that MA will distribute the draft rules to the states for comment. As one of three on the MNSW Historic Road Race Sports Committee I assume that I will be asked to comment. Therefore I would like to ask all members of the PCRA, but especially members who have or are currently running NE bikes for input.
At the Wednesday PCRA club meeting the main draft rules were announced as:
Classes up to:
125cc GP
250cc Proddy
250cc GP
750cc Superbike (meaning 750cc for 4 cyl 4 stroke and 1000cc for 2 cyl 4 stroke)
1100cc
Upside down forks out
End 90 cut off
No v-twin 250 Yamaha’s
At the MNSW Annual Meeting the following day the rules differed as such:
750cc (Larger twins run in 1100cc)
Original upside down fork allowed if originally fitted to the bike.
And the best part is we can now get down to the business of preparing bikes for the new Historic class.
