After reading the 2011 posts, I feel like maybe I and the other participants may be able to do something to help. In SCTA, the rules and regs are determined by the board of SCTA, which is voted upon by the membership. At BUB, our gracious sponsor seems to be shouldering all the responsibilties, while the sanctioning body, AMA, does not even list the speed trials on their website! Being new to the Bonneville and the forum (1st trip to the flats in RWB in 2009), I do not want to step on anybody's toes, but I would like to help in any way that I can to formalize and firm up the inspections, if that is what is needed. I'm thinking a person or committee in charge of testing fuel, and another to ensure conformance to the regulations, in conjunction with the technical committee.
As a retired mechanical engineer, I hereby offer my assistance, although I am rather transient between my Nova Scotia home and my Colorado home.
I would like to hear from other members or the technical committee/sponsor as to what we can do to prevent incidents alleged to have occurred this year.
