The big problem is that SCTA/BNI will change a class designation depending who ever is in charge at the
time. Many of our sidecar records, including the streamliner record, were changed to
other designations and class............. if you change the rules and/or designation, the records that were set prior to the change should be retired. This is the way the FIM handles rule and class changes.
A example :... the rule change on no sidecar passengers in the late 1980's, the old records set with a passenger should have been retired. I can well understand that thinking and times change, but if a change is made in order to keep a level playing field retire the old records and start the new class.
If I recall correctly Jack and his outstanding m/c streamliners set several fast SCTA/BNI records with his "outlawed" liner, now that the officials have decided in their wisdom his liner is not legal......they should retire Jack's records. It is the only proper way to give credit to Jack's effort and work.
