MiniTwin Police part 2!

Hello All!

Well after a constructive discussion with the NEMCRC committee last night a sucessful conclusion was reached.

So as from now the NEMCRC will be running the MiniTwin class strictly following the Rules and Regulations, as set down by the organisers of the class, Mike Edwards and Tim Jones.

If anyone is unsure where to find these regs, they are on the class website: minitwins.co.uk.

At the clubs Knockhill meeting both myself and Chris will be acting Eligibility Officers assisted by chief scrutineer Dave Mallon.

All racers wishing to compete in the MiniTwin class will have there machines checked over to ensure they comply with the class regulations.
We will also be Dyno testing the first three finishers and 'several' random others after each race.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the club meeting-I wish there had been more, but we cant have everything!

So there we have it, hopefully we can now get down to running a class as fairly as is practically possible, one to be proud of, which will hopefully attract many newcomers as well as existing Minitwiners!!

Happy Racing-see you ALL at Knockhill!!!

hi tony/chris got a question for you, My bike does not have the pair solenoid system i.e has blanking plates in place. This makes no differance to performance but apparently bemsee picks riders up on this while other clubs have a more common sense attitude towards it. As my bike never came with the pair system i am finding it difficult to find one to purchase. Please advise
Thanks, Gav

Oh dear, oh dear!!!

Gav, why did it have to be you!! One of my buddies in the paddock!!
Well mate, all I can do is be totally straight with you-like I would be with everybody else.

Firstly, i'm not yet that qualified in what to look for as far as pipework is concerned.

Secondly, at our meeting we were more in favour of trying to run the class as close as we can to Bemsee. One of the committee, Geoff Bell will be at there meeting at Snetterton and will be quizing them as much as possible on what they consider acceptable or not.

And so the crux...if it's normal for Bemsee to pick up your bike for the Pairs pipework then i'm sorry mate, we'll probably have to do the same.

I think i'm going to get some stencils and paint "LEPER" on the side of my van!!!

Then again-I know where there's a lovely, well looked after, and totally standard curvy looking for a good thrashing!!

I'll let you know as soon as I do when I get any info ok mate?

thanks for having the meating. do you no where they will stand on the fuel tanks (cutting the anti-syphon open) i have a fully legal one, and a cut one on the bike. was hoping to keep the legal one as a spare, too nice for me learning

hi gav, sorry to tell you,but your paired solenoid sysem will have to be one for knockhill,thats one of the main things i'll be looking for,aswell as tank risers,airbox rubbers etc etc, is we are going to run our class to close to the ruleas as poss, you'll have to get them on mate.

Hi JP:98,
page 2 of regulations under Fairing and Seat Unit heading states, ' The petrol tank must remain as originally produced by the manufacturer'.

Therefore no tank modifications are allowed.

Hope that answers your question?

hi there, in my honest opinion i cant see how a anti syphon missing in your tank is going to give anyone any advantage in a race,my bike came from thundersport and it hasnt got one, the main things we want to clamp done on is modified engines etc, i would'nt expect anyone of us to go and buy a new tank, i think that part of the rules is abit to much

chris #113

thanks for your quick answers lads, I found this thread http://www.motoforum.net/index.php?showtopic=53788,
so i just need the reed valves and the plastic vent covers as seen in this fiche??
http://www.ronayers.com/Fiche/TypeID...EL_K3_K4_K5_K6)_
no 1 an no 2 in this fiche and blank the plastic cover off according to mike edwards?

Getting complicated lol

chris, but if we are running to the letter of the rules surely his tank would be just as illegal as the pair system which also makes no differance to performance??

hi gav,its my personal opinion about the tanks, that rules a joke, the pair system missing will be a fail,its engine mods,it must give a slight advantage as pepole wouldnt remove them
