[QUOTE="davidd, post: 49717, member: 1177"] Max is correct about the Vintage class in most venues requiring original crank cases, muffs and heads. It used to be that SCTA was pretty much the only game in town and all of the other sanctioning bodies copied their rules. Today there are quite a few organizations with contradictory rules. For example, I set the record at Loring Timing Association at their inaugural event in 2009. They used the old SCTA rules regarding short push rods that classify the Comet as an overhead cam machine. So, that is the class I am in. At ECTA meets I am in the "Non-Pushrod" class also, because all Vintage bike are considered "Non-Pushrod." In general it means you are competing with 750cc Harley and Indian side valve V-Twins in the 500 cc class (as well as 500cc overhead cam bikes.) That should give you an idea about who wrote the rule. I know this is technical, but it is worth mentioning that if you plan to compete in any formal club or organization, the first thing you should do is get the rule book. Don't buy the hot rodded parts first! [/QUOTE]
