My understanding in regards to what modifications are allowable in Historic racing is that, if you can prove that someone somewhere did that modification in period then its allowed.Warwick Biggs wrote:What is inside that fairing Phil? May I aver? The front axle looks way too big for 1982 and what are those big fat front forks off? Is this thing another 2018 special or a genuine historic bike?
Sorry to be pedantic but I would prefer to see more genuine historic racers rather than 200hp facsimiles. I see the number 69 on the fairing. Now who made that number famous? Quite a few questions looking for answers guys.

It is simply impossible to have truly historic racers. Parts, tires, fuels are all modern and rider abilities have changed. The vintage vehicles being raced today are faster, better handling and more reliable than they were in period because in period any modification was cutting edge (with all the usual bugs and failures) whereas today those mods are tried, tested and mostly dead reliable.
