 Maybe we need rules that are not subject to "interpretation".

GETTING THE POINT

all 3 do not appear to be legal for class


Club points are on the line and are very closely watched if you get a chance to see.
It is not just the winner that is subject to all the rules.
 The unwritten rules are more of a matter of courtesy.

Bob
You were recently listed on the MC rules committee but not now.
How did you do ?

(Bob is getting a little short on memory. Roid Racing is a sport mostly confined to elders.)

If I was allowed to vote you'd have mine.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Yes, Jack. I was listed as a
"sidecar advisor" in the rule-book
under the last regime.......but nobody would take my advise.....next thing I know my name was no longer in the rule-book
....I think my "great advise" was no longer needed.

If they don't read it themselves because they can't, it will be read to them.
It seems the more coverage you get the better the chance for a good result. :wink:

I signed up for E-Harmony and after they took my money, they said the person I was most compatable with was a Jackie Dolan of the San Diego area.  My life has gotten more miserable since.................

DO YOU NEED A FURTHER INTRODUCTION ?
« Reply #26 on: June 01, 2006, 12:29:38 PM »
Jackie Dolan is my 35 year old single daughter that has been going to the races since before she popped out and is wise to the deal.
If you want to know why she sat on Cagle's blind side with no arm , Glen will bring you up to speed.
Her BF is a Racing Magazine editor and both her kids race cars.
Do you still want to step up ? :wink:

I must apologize for not giving this plausable scenario.

Maybe the bikes were legal going thru tech inspection. The inspectors did their job, and the bikes were fine. The entrants COULD have changed those components after they were thru with tech inspection.

IF that would be the case, and those items are a performance advantage then they could call them cheating?

Just throwing that out there.

And scott is right those points could be a club championship.

Lets look at last years points for the clubs
1 Gear Grinders 3333
2 SDRC   3234
3 LSR 3188
4 Milers 3131

Bike Number #1 in pictures earned 165 points
Bike Number #2 in pictures earned 80 points

I cant factor in Bike #3 because of no number.

Both Bike #1 and #2 are gear grinders

Total points 245 between them means that a club could have won the championship from a current 4th position to first position.  Tell me club points are precious little gems... Wow two runs can make or break up to 4 places in winning the championship...
