Why would there be a AAA class when there is no upper limit in AA?

Looking thru the records, you can often see AA records lower than A's (and a lot of Open AA's, too).  Would the AAA's be slower, yet?

More classes for the masses!

More publicity, more spectators, too!

Let's all work to make this even less manageable!

I could support a AAA engine class if it were limited to NASCAR cup cars produced between 1997 and 2007, if they also had an AWD system otherwise only legal in Production or special construction and if the engines were from All Terrain Vehicles that would otherwise not be legal in streamliner motorcycles. 

If the above doesn't make sense . . .  you are not a heavy reader of this board.

With the driver placed equidistant from the front of the "horsepower" to the center of the vehicle, that is just about a little forward of tail....  where the HA, CG and CP meet....

ain't this fun...

At this time we would not be able to pump your 600+ inches so please make sure you being extra gaskets for the tear down for measurment. Sorry it's the rule....JD

If it pumps in excess of the minimum for a class with no maximum, then there you are. :wink:

We don't have a pump that has a minimum of 75". If you were around you would know that.  :?
