This was my only argument on the day
"Special construction class is unlimited in design",  and no one could tell me it was not a valid argument
but the word had obviously come from higher up in the AMA, and Ken, Curtis, Drew and the guys helping were only messengers
no point giving them too hard a time, they were caught in the middle

I would hope that they re-write the rules so that there is no confusion next year.

I think I will agree that in frame construction, if it doesn't fit in M, it goes to A. I believe its that way in ECTA, LTA but not sure about SCTA. My rub with the rules is regarding motor size. Probably another threads worth of discussion, but, not being able to bump up in motor class to another class is crazy. You can do it other organizations, not BUBs. They ought to reconsider, for the simple fact that a class change is $250., for the participants looking to buy open records, how can they turn their nose up at that money?? My $.02, tanks for allowing me to vent.

I do not think you can bump up in engine size at SCTA bonneville events either if your engine is smaller than the next class down. Can somebody confirm or deny that for me?

Sorry if I worded that poorly

at other venues you can run a 1000cc engine say  in 1350cc, 1650cc, 2000cc etc even though your engine size is only 1000cc.  At Bubs you are only allowed to run in the engine size class that your engine actually is. I think SCTA has the same rules for boneville events but am not positive,  Can somebody confirm or deny?

SCTA -- you can only run the size that it is.

Other venues seem to allow you to run the size that you say it is -- and up.

In SCTA you must have two things that are not acceptable for M class to run A. At one time it was one.

Or a tailsection that encloses the rear wheel.

I think you are confusing partially streamlined rules with A class rules.  You can be A class but not PS.

Yes, but I wanted to mention that an enclosed tail puts your in A regardless of the rest of the bike. But this is an SCTA rule that may not apply to BUBs.
