Straightliners along with our new organisation the UK Timing Accociation are putting on a ACU British National Records event on the 17th 18th of May 2014 at Elvington this record event will consentrate on the Mile distance using the new speed trap format as agreed with the ACU the records will be set in each direction with the return pass to be made within 60 min
These will be new Records over this distance using the new format and as such are all there to be set and established we have put a lot of work into getting the new scooter classes accepted by the ACU, you only had one class before our efforts came to fruition, there will be classes for all types of scooters both geared and auto, we ran a records event in 2012 and literally had no takers from the scooter world, so if you are interested in Records this is the event for you
The event itself I am sure you will agree is a very large undertaking for Straightliners and the UKTA and is by no means cheep to put on we think that the entry fee will be in the region of £250 for the two days we have an option to run on Monday the 19th if we need it but we are not sure on costing's for this
I HAVE FOUND THESE CLASSES FROM THE DISCUSIONS IN 2011/12
please let me know if they are still relevant
The Scooter classes for the Records event's are
50cc 100cc 175cc 250cc and 500cc Gearbox classes
50cc 100cc 175cc 250cc and 800cc Auto classes
Proposed rules are
Except as specially authorised by the ACU, a Solo Motor scooter is a two wheeled motor vehicle on which the driver may sit on a seat and have free and open space in front of the seat for passage of their legs, with the following additional characteristics:
1. The minimum size of the space forward of the seat must be a regular or irregular trapezium with its top measuring 250mm along a line projected forward from the top of the seat parallel with a line drawn through the centres of the two road wheels and measured from the front extremity of the seat towards the steering column. Its depth vertically downwards must not be less than 250mm and its base not less than 100mm. The minimum space must be clear at all times of any obstruction of a permanent or temporary nature except where any such obstruction was fitted as manufacturer’s original equipment (e.g. Vespa 90SS).
2. It shall have been manufactured by a manufacturer recognised by the ACU and not less than one hundred machines of that type equipped with the manufacturer’s original or optional equipment must have been made and sold in the U.K. An Accountant’s Certificate may be required as proof.
3. Clutch and brake levers must be ball-ended , with a diameter no less than 19mm (3/4")
4. The cylinder must be either the manufacturers original equipment or after market kit made for the engine it is fitted to.There are no limits on tuning.the cylinder must be able to be recognised for what it was originally.
5. The position of the cylinder fixing studs should remain unaltered.
6. A scooter must have its crankcase/swing-arm constructed from one single rigid unit.
Rule 4 the recognition is minimal so water cooling etc is ok.
If any changes are needed then I have time to put them in the final regs
