National Paved Mile Records
« on: July 26, 2015, 03:21:39 PM »
Now that it appears that the SCTA will tackling paved one mile events is there interest in creating a national record database so that records a venues following the SCTA class structure can be compared.

I envision using the SCTA class structure as mentioned with the addition of added classes such as splitting the 2 stroke/4 stroke m/c classes and the circle track class as used by ECTA and LTA(?). If an organization does not wish to include these classes it is OK.

I would think it would be beneficial to have a certification process to ensure that a claimed record is legal for the class entered. Running up class is OK. Thed idea is to make sure that a C/GR is indeed a C/GR, displacement and body/chassis legal.

Input?

There will be more teams competing against each other, more sponsors, higher records!
Excellent Idea!

Paved 1 mile Records yes!

That may be where we are going---  lets see I would need a new axle,  a torque converter, different chutes  and a  different trans


We might be able to find a 1.3 dirt course here in AZ on a Res.

Speaking for myself, yes. Seems to me that the difficulties could be worked out. My guess is that there would be much interest.

There is no certification at Loring, currently.  Then again, it only costs half as much.  There is plenty of room for  a tech area and it could easily be set up if the interest is there.  I don't think the cost would be prohibitive, as it is the racer's responsibility to do the tear down so you would only need officials and measuring equipment.

Current rules appear to be copied from SCTA, so very few changes would be required.  Front brakes required on bikes over 175 mph. I haven't checked car rules for differences.

The community would welcome us with open arms, although they might have to open up more of the old motels and camping areas.  Incidentally, British Cycle Supplies is opening up a wholesaling outlet on the base and have invited us to use their space for more camping area and may be agreeable to offer some other services like space for repairs.
