Scott Stites went through tech and had to strip the Busa completely to run in the naked class, the front fender and rear tail section had to go. So far today, he has run 169mph on what he said is very wet salt. A lot of wheel spin, but 6mph over the current record! He is currently in impound and should be making a back-up run soon.
That sucks for Scott, I reread the rule for the AMA here.
7.G. OPEN CLASS *
Open class motorcycles do not permit streamlining. Streamlining is
anything that has the perceptible purpose of directing, controlling
or limiting the airflow around the motorcycle and/or rider, or are
placed to reduce aerodynamic drag (
fenders excluded).
Maybe JonW can get by Scotts pits and find out what the heck to issue was.
