Rick,

Ah!  I see your point.  It would indeed be difficult to determine if an
engine was box stock.  I also appreciate the clarification that P engines
must be the same as P frames.  Makes sense to me.

Checking through the motorcycle records however, I find that there are only
motorcycle streamliner records for 6 engine classes, gas, fuel, blown gas,
blown fuel, push-rod gas, and push-rod fuel.  This leaves 8 non-production
engine classes for which I see no listed record in a streamliner frame at
any displacement.  Taking as an example, PBG (push-rod supercharged gas), is
this somehow prohibited, or is it just the case that no one has ever shown
up with this combination?

(Well, it actually leaves 11 engine classes, but I haven't the faintest idea
how you might determine displacement of a Steam, Turbine, or Electric
motorcycle streamliner.  ?000-S-[Omega symbol] ?  Just S-Omega?  Same weight
classes for electric as cars?)

I see Dale Martin and Tom Evans listed as Rules/Rulebook. Would they or
anyone else care to jump in?

Sorry for the awkward questions.

Thanks,
Jim.
