Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You also forgot to mention that both the MX/SX and Classic MX/DT commission have said the ATK is fine because it has an effective rear brake.

If in doubt "Ask MA"

I'm disconnecting my brakes and just using other competitors to bounce off.

Brakes just slow you down.

Thanks for your email; and for your patience whilst I passed on the enquiry to both the Classic MX and MX/SX Commission for comment. Both have confirmed that your brake system is suitable.
For the MX Commission it simply needs to be a brake that “works” i.e. slows down that rear wheel to assist with stopping.

 

The Classic MX Commission do not require you to have brakes at all (as per the GCR’s) however should your machine be deemed “unsafe” on the track, the Clerk of the Course has the right to remove it. You would not be deemed unsafe on this machine as it has been presented.

 

Hopefully this answers your questions, if you need anything further please let me know. Best of luck with racing!

Good to see this one was resolved with the minimum of fuss. And I'll point out that resolution came through contacting MA for clarification and sensible advice was forthcoming. Worth remembering that often issues around clarification of rules can be sorted by simply contacting MA.
