Absolutely no minimum BS to try to keep bikes out of the club. You go 201 mph or more and it is a certified record you get a hat. Simple!!

The hats cost me about $8 each so I thought it was a small thing I could to showsome appreciation for the folks who push the limits.

Was just on the SCTA website, looks like there were no new members of their 200 club on bikes at speedweek this year. Minmums are having the desired effect i guess.

That seems to be the SCTAs goal.

That's one of the reasons I'm going to the Bub meet. I've gotten the feeling that a lot of the car guys and at least part of the management of the SCTA don't really want the bikes their. So I voted with my wallet and I'm running the Sportster with the people who seem to want me around.

I didn't take a count but it seemed like there weren't very many pushrod motors at speed week and in particular Harleys or Buells.

This is really too bad because I like looking at cars as much as the next guy. I understand that the organizers of the USFRA try to conduct a fair race, but they use the same set of rules so the choice is made.

O by the way my bike won't get close to 201 mph and I will probably never have enough money to get it their.

46,
You don't need to go 201mph to have a great time at the Bubs meet. In fact only one of our 3 bikes even has a chance to go that fast.
