Got mine last week, about 4 days after ordering.
See what happens when you bug them too much? ;)
-
Its only been 4 or 5 months ago that I sent the money. They tell me that its some kind of 'tube' issue? Still waiting.

I think I got a handle on this; I ordered just the rule book, not a membership.

Remember all, the SCTA is an all volunteer group and the office is doing it's best to get everything out, Everyone should be getting them soon.

amen on the volunteer.being one myself, i understand.if it were not for volunteers - we would not be racing! and to boot - the volunteers ARE racers!. practicing zen here! dad

Today,May, 26th, my rule book and poster and such arrived. A week and a half after the first El Mirage meet run under these rules. And about two months after the people who do not belong to BNI/SCTA but who bought a rule book got theirs. I think the association should rethink the mailing of rule books to the members that support it.
-
cool.thats good news! maybe mine will be here soon! they just let us back into town after 2 days mandatory evac. my shop and house is within a mile of the explostion and fallout.and i'm supposed to be leaving tomorrow to maxton............what a mess here and now i'm really behind the eight ball with biz/clean up/$$$-work/and raceing vehicle prep/etc. but life is good cuz i didn't wake up dead! and rule book is on the way!.dad
-
Maybe I asked the wrong question,
Any BNI Members outside the far west coast (CA) have a rule book yet?
Maybe we need to have early entry prices until 30 days after the new rules are mailed to Members. I am entered, but couldn't tell ya if I am in compliance with any new rules.....
-
new rule book in hand.....yeah!
-
kewl! maybe mine is on the way!too late now but i'll have to rethink this for next year, maybe send in dues AND payment for a rulebook separate so i'll have adequate time to have gear and equipment ready!@ but for now.....(dots)checking maiulbox everyday like a kid at x-mas!

Called SCTA again yesterday, She found my name on the list, "Should be going out this week".
I found my cancled check from Jan. This is June. I used my calculator, Yep-- thats six months, still no rule book!
Three most told.......
Checks in the mail.
I'll call you tomarrow.
Your rule book is......

Got mine June 1st!!! Unfortunately they decided to drastically change the MPS motorcycle fairing rules making the bodywork I have been building for the last 6 months illegal!! My sponsor is livid. He said - "What type of organization gives racers just six weeks to comply with drastic rule changes. Surely major changes like this should be proposed at least a year in advance?" SCTA needs to address this important issue.This situation is a joke!
-
yamagamma, could you give a quick synopsis of the MPS fairing change? I hadn't even heard rumors of a change.
Thanks!

I gave up!
I am going to the September 6-10 race with bucks involved.
Oh Yea! Rule book is on line....free

Don Harris,
I know you are out there!
Howard Allen has the old bike!
Leave me a message.

Deb, The new MPS rule reads "no part of the fairing ahead of the front axle may be lower than the top of the front rim at the axle centerline, or be forward of the front edge of the rim"
This replaces "there must be no streamlining forward of the front edge of the front rim" which has been in the book for many years. The new rule basically makes anyone running charlie toy style bodywork mounted forward and level with the front rim as per the old rule- illegal, as it will cover the front rim forward of the axle. I think that affects quite a number of bikes who run Airtech bodies.
-
can someone explain to this dumb arse aussie why the powers to be over there seem intent on making bikes slower ( so it seems to me with the partial streamlining rules ) excuse me for thinking that the whole aim of LSR is to increase speeds ,( ultimatly each racer is responsible for what ever actions they make and know that even with the most strict safety rules sometimes S**T happens) is it a bias against bikes , is it some perception that bikes are to fast and unsafe , is it a fear that if there is a fatal or serious accident that it will effect the public liability insurance ( why I ask is that is the thinking of some car racers over here and they are worried that it could end LSR in Aus if this were to happen ) , or is this train of thought way off track ? I have drafted some new rules for special construction classes ( bikes for DLRA ) and if passed will allow almost unlimmited aero designs along with stricter safety conciderations

I was the lucky recipient of an intact tube yesterday!
Got worried when dad's arrived last week capless, he's happy to have a poster though.
