Why are Maxton motorcycle engine classes "refined" to have a /4 or /2 tag? My question is does Muroc and El Mirage, for that matter, the other courses don't have the same derivation. It seems, my 100
Hi Dale, I don't know for sure, but it looks to me like the ECTA is using the /2 and /4 designations for 2-stroke and 4-stroke motorcycle classes. If you look over the records, you'll see they also h
The E.C.T.A. recognizes that there are inherent differences between 2 cycle (the /2 class) and four cycle (/4 designation) engines. The other sacntions either..... (a) don't know there are differenc
Thanks Dale, I appreciate the clarification. Makes sense. I hadn't noticed the /2 or /4 designation when reading the SCTA rule book, then noticed the designation when I read the Maxton records. Well,
Boy am I getting tired of this SCTA bashing. The SCTA bike rules rules are made by bikers, there is an equal but seperate commitee and an annual meeting at speedweek. Jim /// /// land-speed@autox.te
OK Jim, this may not be the most complementary or well worded statement ever written on this list, but I would hardly call it bashing. The SCTA has been around for over 50 years, not going away any t
I like being able to race against a variety of configurations, and think the has a nice way of doing it by keeping the 2 and 4 strokes together. I mean we cant make a class separation for everything

The ECTA 2-cycle, 4-cycle classification structure was put in place because that's what the scooter guys wanted. It's obviously doubles my data base of records and makes extra work for me. My best g

Let me understand this. You two want at least two new classes added. One for RUNT motorcycle riders and one for RUNT car drivers. Both need a stepping stool to get on board. Why don't we include bar
If we are considering classes for Riders/Drivers of the vertically challenged persuasion, I feel that some break for those of the more ample gross displacement should also be considered. We have righ
If the phrase " It sure seems to me that there may be more of an interest in trying to cover a bunch of "good ole boys" from the "good ole days" records, than a fair , even application of the rules."
All I wanted to point out to you Dale was that the rules were made by motorcycle riding participants not, by car guys who you implied didn't know the difference and didn't care. Jim advantages. mixtu
Since, by the postings I've read so far, there are 800+ motorcycle classes, if there are to be more classes added why not eliminate some of the obviously overlapping and redundant classes. As I reca
