2013 Curborough

I should point out - a point that I have made in the past -  for Street and Sports - it is up to the competitor to argue or state at registration - these are optional classes with more vague rules and not defined.  So it should be at the point of registration - otherwise we get into changing the results for the season at the end of the season!

Thanks everyone that clears things up for me a bit, I've no wish to alter any results for this season but will try and remember the info for next year.  Alan I think that picture could be my bike when it was with a previous owner, pre my 'incident'

The final results and, possibly more importantly, their effect on the Championship tables are now available on the website - many thanks Kevin.

Thanks also for reiterating the point about classes. I agree that the SL looks as if it qualifies for Sports and Street so Martin should claim it at his first race next season. The seat-height rule was removed from the definition a year or two ago in favour of a less formal spec which was more in keeping with the spirit of the class, but it's still true that some machines ('standard' Ratracers among them) are too low to be 'suitable for use on the open road'. Rattys fail in numerous other ways too - there's no rear brake, nowhere to put lights, and locking them up outside the shops is virtually impossible.

The Ratracer "classic" has SA drum brakes front and rear.  All other versions I've ridden have pretty much no brakes at all, which is just as well since applying the one that there is on the front usually seems to result in me falling off.

I used to use the Wyre quite a lot on the road, including in traffic, as it's pretty close to the ratty I'd say they are usable on the road..
Just need to angle it across the lane at about 45 degrees to be able to turn left at traffic lights.

But then people tell me I don't ride in much traffic.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhXnOWcJSU8
