Flattrack Nats OLD SCHOOL TWINS
« on: January 21, 2013, 08:06:35 pm »
 OLD SCHOOL TWINS
while the class is called twins it is open to all multi cylinder machines, the more exotic the better,
Hopefully enough numbers to separate the racers from the clubmen,
Open to all Aircooled multi cylinder machines of any Capacity or Watercooled multi cylinder machines where the engine was manufactured prior to 1990.
Machines can include,

Harley Davidson 
Triumph 500, 650 and 750.
Yamaha XS650, 750, TZ/RD 350 and 400
BSA 650 Lightning
Norton Commando 750 and 850
Weslake 850
SUZUKI T500 and GT550/750 Triples
Honda CB350/400/450/500/600/650/750
Kawasaki 750 Twin and the Triples
Benelli / Laverda / MotoGuzzi.

We are still formulating rules and are listening,
The more the merrier,
Aftermarket framed Trackers is what we are looking for, but modified stock frames are eligible
The above list is just suggestions

I accidentally left out Ducati, but the guidelines are obvious just like Harley,
I have a list of about 15 competitors already,

Turn it into an inline twin Jim, that'll pull the arms.
I would think that once the Twins were up and running it would be a natural progression to include a big singles class.

Arrrrr what a superb class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D  Tim754.       Any class room for twin/multi cylinder machines that have three wheels and carry a passenger...sorry had to ask ;)
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

3/ BIG SINGLES
Open to ALL Single cylinder machines over 300cc. Chassis is also Open.
Most will be 450cc but machines like the Honda CR500, Husky 610, Husaberg 600 or KTM 690 are most welcome.
 I don't think the Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha 600/650/660 singles would be competitive, but I am happy to be proved wrong.

What track layouts are to be used Son, proper oval racing or dirt track tracks with S bends or both?  Because I've got a couple of pre 75 2 stroke framers, my Hindall RT2MX and DT1 Cycle Factory bikes (and my rigid framed KR250 Maico), I'd love for them to be included somewhere in the concept. There are a number of bikes like mine out there, including a lot of Astros, in fact a few forum members own or are building two stroke 250 or 350 framers.

Have you talked tp Edgar Phipps? He owns a genuine Shell Thuett framed OW79 works 750 Yamaha formerly ridden by Eddie Lawson. I'm sure he's love the idea of chucking a few skids on it amongst like minded racers. There'll be a lot of proper flat trackers at HBBB at Easter so it'd be a great place to do some recruiting. It'd be pretty doubtful that my big twin bikes will be ready to race this year because of other projects being on the production line but I'd like to think that they'll be up and running for next season.
Here'sa couple of bikes from Broadford in 2011 and Vern Graysons A65 BSA and the almost identical sister bike to Edgars ex Eddie Lawson Shell.                                                           
                                                               
                                                               
                                                               
                                                                                           
'68 Yamaha DT1 enduro, '69 Yamaha 'DT1 from Hell' '69 DT1'Dunger from Hell, '69 Cheney Yamaha 360, 70 Maico 350 (2 off), '68 Hindall Ducati 250, Hindall RT2MX, Hindall YZ250a , Cycle Factory RT2MX flat tracker, Yamaha 1T250J, Maico 250 trials, '71, Boyd and Stellings TM400, Shell OW72,750 Yamaha

BIG TWINS 
Harley Davidson 
XR750, 883, 1100 & 1200 Sportster / Buell or V Rod1000
Honda 
VTR1000, Transalp/Shadow 600,650,700, 750 or 1000
Suzuki  
SV SFV or DL650, TL SV or DL1000.
Yamaha 
XS 650,  TDM or TRX 750, 850 or 900.
Kawasaki 650,
Hyosung 650,
CF Moto 650
BMW 800
Husqvarna 900
Triumph 800 or 900 or Triples?
DUCATI anything over 550cc
APRILIA anything over 550cc
Any other suggestions???

While the Class is called Big Twins it is open to 3 or 4 cylinder machines of over 550ccs as well but the high horsepower and light flywheel weight of these machines will make traction difficult,
Again I am happy to be proved wrong

OLD SCHOOL SINGLES
We obviously will have a vintage singles class,
Astros, Champions, Redlines Trackmasters,
I want to see them all, thats why I am letting this out so far in advance,
Just not sure how to get them all in and have competitive racing

I'd bung 'em in with the Old School Singles along with Rotax and BSA unit construction single powered bikes.
