Street Class and other class issues

quote gNick:'OK graydog, you pay for the wind-tunnel time to get a realistic Cd for every member then... '

*********************************************************

ar who needs a wind tunnel with all the hot air flowing around here , and you are perhaps more correct CdA may be more apt... non the less you are a versed if not more so than I, in the experimental techniques as described by John Lafford amongst others. I must also say the same for Fish as T6 ‘top dog’.

However, as a newbee one sure fire way of ensuring we reduce rider numbers is to keep changing regs every other race or to leave uncertainty... how do you think the newbee is going to set thier path to the ‘Fish’ level if the first bike they buy, build or what ever fit no class next year? 

Perhaps I did not explain me self correctly, using a speed or CdA system will not in anyway handy-cap any person after all you will still be running with the big boys. But in terms of forging innovation, to improve the bike around the rider using the CdA value allows for dynamic changes to the bike with out affecting the Cd coef thus allowing one to stay in the same class at faster speeds.

However, perhaps you are correct, conjecture over actual maybe the way to go after all you have been here longer than I as such I censed and should just watch…

I for one am still in limbo over my new bike, if the sports class (faired) is to run I have some changes. I would like to think it could fit the IHPV system as well as the Bhpc.

Very respectful
