Modified Vintage Gas Engine In Motorcycle Streamliner?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Naughty-naughty!  Racers are required to keep both hands on the bars at all times.  I suppose that, if called on this photo, the rider could claim that he was twiddling with the main adjust at the instant that photo was snapped -- but that's take some talking.

Just a thought...in reference to the drawing of the cage...my guess is that you would not be able to see out.

Mock something up and take measurements, there is more distance from your eyes plus helmet plus cage plus body etc. than you might think.

Good Luck with your project.

Justin,

I would guess that you are aware that motorcycle streamliners are now under car streamliner rules and will be teched by both m/c and car inspectors?

From 2009 rulebook:
5.A   SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION CATEGORY
This category is the pinnacle of the straightaway racer’s art. It contains three main groups. In the automobile group are the unlimited Streamliners and open-wheeled Lakesters with a 4+ wheel configuration and in the motorcycle group are the streamliner and streamliner sidecar class. These classes allow both blown and un-blown, gas or fuel engines. These are all-out straightaway vehicles with non-stock engine blocks allowed, (with the exception of specific Vintage Engine classes). Innovation is unlimited. Modified production bodies are forbidden. Four-wheel drive is allowed in the automotive group only.

Thanks Dan.  I'm going to order a 2009 rulebook this weekend.  Sounds like there's alot of changes since '08!

  Maybe i missed something but i dont read anything in the rule book that says that the motorcycle streamliners are now under car streamliner rules . The way i read the rule book the only thing thats changed is tech. The motorcycle streamliners have their rules and the cars streamliners have theirs and they are not the same.   willie buchta

Hey Willie, can you help me out on some ideas for my Yamaha?  Thanks!  http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,5776.0.html

If you look at the streamliner rule changes, bold print,  you will see that m/c streamliners now comply with car streamliners in several areas. The m/c streamliners will be teched by both m/c and car inspectors.

Hey Willie, you have to remember that SCTA/BNI 
after all is a "car club" and "car" people call the shots..................................................................................

  Hey Kent, About a month ago you asked me how I was doing on my liner. I looked at it yesterday and it still looks the same as before Christmas. Like Summ said awhile back..."Life gets in the way sometimes" D-I-V-O-R-C-E has put a halt on toy production for awhile but I'm going to have to get some tubing and make a few parts just to keep from going crazy.

Check this out for inspiration for a small (very small) single-engined streamliner
