New Rule Book

New Rule Book for 2012
We think that the changes are what everyone has asked for much easier to understand.
If you are building a new bike use these as a guide line
Classic and Post Classic Classes
We need to know what you think send your comments, suggestions to your SCB or Ross Martin

Changes and new rules can be found from the link below(hope it works)

Well done guys. A massive improvement.

A few questions though:
What does OEM mean?
Will Dirt Track bikes with down pipes be excluded from Post Classic meetings?
Do Evo bikes have to also be Pre 1990 models?

[Hardo]

Thats cleaner for sure.
Takes the ambiguity out of the year-of-manufacture qualification. 

[micks]

quick print it or save it before it get`s pull of the ma site!!!

excuse the ignorance - which club is BMCC?

Brisbane......... i think Ross

Will there be a  Period guide published ?  the good thing about the old one was it listed model indicating , so it was easy for scrutineers to see what bike needs to go where. 

On state and club days its easy to move bikes up and down eras if your smartarse.  i wouldnt have a clue after pre 75 or before pre 68 so how is a normal punter going to referance what goes where ?  even some riders dont have a clue and there in the event ( see mx 125 c in pre 75 even with the laydowns).

can there be an Model list published so its makes it easier ?  also if its not in the rules then it can be update or changed easily by you the Commision rather than having to go through all the rule change mumbo jumbo.

I think there is also and issue in the PRe 75 class DT250B should read YZ 250B as the Dt was a twin shock and same motor till 77 only then did the motor really changed, so it dont needs to be there ... maybe a typo .

same happens in the  pre 70 it should say pre reedblock motor, the way it reads its sounds like its talking about the bike itself, which is the same as the reed block anyway and vise versa.

What does OEM mean?

It's Dutch for "Onder Eigen Merk" (Under Own Brand) sometimes "Original Equipment Manufacturer" is used in English. If you go to Holden and buy a spare part made by them it's "OEM" but if you go to Supercheap and buy a part made by a supplier not connected with Holden then it's refered to as "Aftermarket".

[Nathan S]

Excellent news on The Split, and on pre-90.

 

I'll reserve judgement on the rest until I've had a much more careful read, but its looking like there's still quite a few unresolved issues despite the obvious good intention.

I know that. But what does it mean for us?
Does it mean that I cannot stick a Honda motor in a Yamaha and call it a Boddy Special?
Does it mean that I cannot stick a YZ125F motor in my IT175F chassis and call it a IT125F (or YZ125F)?
Does it mean that I cannot fit Renthal handle bars or Magura levers or a DG swingarm?
Does it mean that I cannot fit a flatslide carby unless it is the original that came with the bike?
The term OEM must be defined because otherwise everyone will have their own idea of what it means.

geeze

if a YZ motor is fitted to a Honda (some might argue a huge improvement) and both the components are pre 75 for example its OK, what isnt OK is to take a Unitrack KX and turn it into a twin shock and race in the EVO class, the equipment can be mix and match but you cant cut up later stuff to fit another class.
Read the rules, if it says you can only use a round slide away you go, if it allows flat slide then its noted there in, if you could get a DG swingarm in 74 (or a suitably correct replica) for your 74 Honda happy trails its OK - but if you have a DG swingarm that was only available in 78 on that bike its not OK. Its really clear and really simple

OEM has been in the rule book for years and is there after newer bikes were cut to fit mainly in the EVO class.

As for the bars and levers................

[mboddy]

Hi Dave. All those questions were specifically about what OEM means in the Evo rules.

geez Dave - you're a cheeky bugger sometimes!  Yamaha in a Honda frame - being an improvement

[Nathan S]

C'mon Ross - its a big improvement on the Honda.

I see defining Classic and Post classic as a positive move 

No change to the fuel section with unhistorical unleaded still in and unhistorical E85 still out although both are available at the bowser

Yep, blame one of our State HSC for that
