[QUOTE="davidd, post: 55396, member: 1177"] The BMST, which used to be called "BUB" when Denis Manning ran it, is on schedule to run next week at the salt flats. The SCTA event was rained out a week ago, but the course was dry enough for BMST to survey the two courses yesterday in the dry spots. I think the only Vincent running is Eric Patterson on the Viscount. He is pre-entered in two classes: MPS-VG and 1000-M-CF At least, that is how they are written in the entry form. MPS is the frame designation and it stands for Modified Partially Streamlined. A Modified frame has to be of the same manufacture as the engine. This being a Norvin, I am not sure how it qualifies, but AMA is not very stringent about the rules. Maybe I have missed something. Partial Streamlining can be anything from a number plate to a full fairing. The" -VG" is the engine classification, which would be Vintage Gas, meaning pre 1956 engine running on track supplied fuel with the petrol cap sealed. The M-CF class, and I assume both classes are 1000cc classes, is Modified frame designation and Classic Fuel for the engine designation, which is a pre-1980 engine running on any type of fuel, that is , fuel not supplied by the track.
