Hooked on speed


« on: August 05, 2009, 11:17:36 PM »

How many classes are there? Where is the list etc. There seems to be such a wide range of different stuff how do you know what it falls under. How does a new guy start up etc? Im sure you have to prove yourself etc. I have a 72 r5 yamaha 2 stroke that id love to run but im not sure on any class it would qualify for.

Loring ran ECTA rules. 

Get a copy of the ECTA rulebook. study it, and you will be able to find the answers to a lot of your questions.

Be forewarned - interest can lead to addiction.........but it is a fun addiction!

there is a class for the bike ... I guess that it would probably fall into M/G350/2 ... incidentally, the rule book shows the record at 133 for Maxton ... Probably open record at Loring ... Joe

You can also run TO time only for a 1st time out if you like.  No class or records, but you see where you stand.

I am not a m/c guy, I do beleive there is a rotary m/c class though. Best bet is to get a rules and record book and read it over and over again and again and again...

  Any body out there get any vidio of my blue '67 Brick (Chevelle) @ LORING?

Hodwy, Scott.  It's good to see you on this Forum.  Don't be a stranger -- or at least, don't be any stranger than you already are.

Okay -- ebnough hassling you.  Welcome, Scott.  I have no doubt we'll find one another out here on the Salt, but just in case -- come find us.

See you soon.

I believe the Time Only (T/O) category is for cars only.
I could not find anything in the rule book like that under the motorcycle categories ...

72tx340-- the only folks you have prove yourself to are the tech inspectors and they are there to help. There's a good chance that you have never met a group of people friendlier, more willing to help each other or more fun to be around.

Bikes run T/O all the time at Maxton.  I did it my first time out.
