Good point Peter, but worth noting also is that the hotrods get pretty much a free rein at the Island Classic, where the International Challenge pulls the punters in and a silhouette race class gets many of the world's top classic racers together on the best of available machinery : top action, big names and a happy crowd.
But the historic nationals on the other hand is where the rulebook is closely adhered to, where logbooks matter, and where the heart of classic racing is more to the fore, crowds are less important and authentic, eligible machinery prevails. The comparison is worth noting, and both have their place and are successful for different reasons. |

| Very true but I think if I look at my bike for example, j model front end, suzuki rear end, j model head 1975 A4 frame (heavily braced). I am simply not going to get up and say such a bike existed at the time, excepting in very few circles, because the mere concept was repugnant for most. Ya didn't put a Suzuki part of a Kwak unbless you were PoPy. I think we need to move on now and realise the specials will get in even at the nationals in future. A provenence can be established for such bikes, they existed at the time - even if the new ones are replicas. They will get log books just like they did in period 3. I think we need to think outside the square and develop the improved touring class for the Joe average lot to keep them involved. |
