Triumph 675 in LW classes!!!!????

[clutch]

I'm just looking through the '06 Draft of the rulebook

http://www.ccsracing.us/forms/2006/2006%20Rulebook.pdf

and it doesn't show the Triumph 675 being able to run as LW in any class...but the new racer mailer download does... ???

Shouldnt be any  ??? ???  ...  thats the way it should be.  I didnt see it in the rule book, maybe they rethought it since the rule book was out after the mailer.  Good times.

I agree - and glad to see it NOT in LW!
Just hoping the mailer gets changed to take it out and NOT the rule book to put it in!

I`ve emailed both Kevin and Eric looking for clarification on what class the bike goes in with no answer. I`m guessing the jury is still out!

  Unbeleivable (not really), I have been accused and nothing short of spat on for running a 500 plus lb., air cooled, shaft driven, BMW in LW.  Due to the fact that the bike loses 22% HP from the shaft drive and at the wheel the out put was 70.8 hp.  The bike still wieghs 504 wet and the ground clearance does come into play once you are going flat out.  Those cyclinder heads alter lnes at tracks like VIR and barber where the curbing is a bit higher.  
  I would love to run AMA, but the next best challenge is to run and overweight/underpowered machine that is laughed at (initially) and winning LW classes and finishing top ten in the 600's.  If anyone feels that they could do better on the BMW then go race one!  Ask Ed Key.  He pushed me harder than I have ever been pushed.  His SV's may not be close to stock, but I didnt cry and whine like the majority, I am here to race and have good battles.  I f anyone would like to accompany me to the dyno and scales I am more than happy to give you a ride there.

Race more pose less!

Have a great new year everyone!

Read my first post (P4).
 Then read Nate's again.
 Enough said  ;)

ahhhh...I thought you went out and bought yourself a Triumph!

[Thumper881]

HELL NO !!!!

If you dont mind, explain my ego, and tell me if there is any reason why I should be excited about winning anything on a BMW?!  Again, my point is if I were winning on an SV I dont think there would be as many critics, but I am gettin er' done on the pleasingly plump BMW!  
I think I would be pissed too if I had a BMW beat me.  I guess this last comment validates my ego...?

Have a great New Year everyone!

I raced against You Nate on a sv and I wouldn't want to see you on one. What you could do on that beast of yours pretty much amazed me, dont get a lighter bike with more hp, please...

[N8Kern]

Thanks dude.  I am out there like all of you, trying to do the best I can.  Where did we run together and what was your comp. #?  What are your plans for 2006?  I have a new challenge, Im running the heavier and longer (62 inch wheelbase) BMW K12R, but now in the Unlimted classes. Its a naked bike and the drag is unreal, but for some reason the bike (not me) gets it done through engineering!  
It was tough jumping from the Boxer twin and on the Kawi ZX10 in back to back races.  Throttle control had a whole new definition... lol
Look forward to 06' and look me up in the pits when you have the time.

take care,

Nate
