I think that there are a lot of bikes that are truely stock (although that is not my area and not part of my responsibility) as well as there are a lot more that are modified. And then there is the arguement about what is considered stock or modified.
The intentions of the fair races is to get more people involved in racing (main reason no points are given this year) rather than show people how easily the regulars can beat them with their modified bikes. We are trying to get more people interested in drag racing not discourage them.
In the 2010 rules the first paragraph last line states: Rules and regulations are subject to change without notice. In the Grounds For Disqualifications rule 8 states: 8. You will be disqualified if you refuse track officials decisions.
In every event (no matter what it is) there are track officials that put on the event and administer the rules. They usually have the authority to disqualify who they need to based on the rules. That is all that was done in Athens, the track officials did their job and based on the rules and the intent of the fair races disqualified the bike for that race.
There may be changes that are needed to the rules, but that is usually done in the off season. For now we are going to maintain the rules as they are for this year and try to make this a fun family outing. As I said before, we are a young group and there are growing pains, but we will work things out so that it is fun for everyone (as much as possible). Remember you can't please everyone, we aim to please the majority.

There's a hand full of us that's been doing this together sense Wellston, we got 2 passes down a sloppy muddy 150ft track and we laughed and carried on. Now we've got the chance to run on a great track and make more than 2 passes a night and the old gang is fallin apart. It's just my opinion but I think it starts with a strong foundation and when it crumbles we all fall. My 2 cents - get the guys & gals that started this thing back together. I know my bikes caused a bunch of crap but I'll run wherever I can and quite honestly I've had fun chasin Ken's can am for years ;D

Misty,
I agree 100%, I was not part of the start of this club but got involved at a later time. Seemed like everyone got along much better before I started getting involved...that being said it was my impression that the club wanted to get bigger and have more racers, more races. It is impossible for things to stay the same when things change. More racers means more interpretations of the rules....more races means more competition among racers, More racers also means there need to be rules in stone for everyone to follow. I know this for a fact....5 people can go out and have a good time, some will yield to others, some will lead. When you add 5 more there will be conflicts and all 10 will not see eye to eye like the 5 did. Not trying to say anything but the positive just remember it is hard to grow and keep it like it always was. I know, its a bad deal, but it is the way it is for everything. If the club wants to keep it like it was, it can be done and maybe everyone would be happier.....but you cant grow and attract others at the same time.....I hope the club can get together and figure out what it wants to do.....because I did have and still have fun racing will everyone...

I know the club needs to grow and I welcome as many new members that can come but the base that pulls this mess together needs to be strong and right now everyone's going in different directions and doesn't seem to agree on anything anymore. Like I said it's just my 2 cents. I used to get excited just thinkin about racing but any more it just a bunch of drama. I hope it changes because you guys could have a really nice place to enjoy. I'm pretty much out of it any more because I'm not there enough to make it count. I wish you guys luck and I really hope someone grabs the reins before it's too late.

i got a quick question...i wasnt there and im not trying to get anything started...but since he did what he had to (no wheelie bar) and couldnt run because his bike is fast, so now you changed the rules to stock chassis which is understandable it keeps a few of the faster bikes out...but what if we were to show up with that motor combination in a stock chassis....would something change then and all our effort to make the bike legal would be wasted or would it be aloud to run? and im not trying to start anything just asking questions....
