The
Championships Classes & Awards in the
Competition Class
The competition class, or open class, full race machines, tyres like chewing
gum, engines with power to weight ratios that are astounding and some top class
riders. Alongside these ride the rest of us, this class encompasses everyone
and is divided into capacity and type classes (two/three wheels), so we have
winners for each class, and at the end of the year an overall winner.
The National Championship
This is The Championship, everyone is part of this, but you have to be really fast to get points, and to be in with a chance, a really top class Hill Climber - in the past our fast guys have beaten world class bike racing names, and not by a small margin!
The Classic & Veteran Championship
The Classic Championship, for those classic machines of the halcyon days of motorcycling, with that evocative sound and beautiful looks. Post war to the 70's - pure nostalgia, but not slow! Many of these machines are still trashing modern machines, it's the rider that counts.
The Veteran Championship, from the beginning of days until the end of the war. To ride these machines you have to have guts: skinny tyres, no suspension and brakes that would be scary on a pushbike, top that with a bike & rider combined age of over 120 in some cases, well what can I say?
The Road Legal Championship
This Championship is designed to give road bikes a chance. So MoTs, lights
and a road bike are required - a hotly contested class for road going machines,
you've got to be able to ride very well to get well up in the points. However
if you are a beginner on your road bike you have a chance to compete on equal
grounds.
The Forgotten Era Championship
A new Championship for 2008, designed for oldish motorcycles of all types that
many people would like to race, those bikes that fall between two stools, neither
old enough to be a classic, nor young enough to be fully competitive, the Forgotten
Era championship is there to give these bikes and their riders a chance
to compete with like machinery, have a real chance at a championship, and have
other competitors to try and beat on the day so no complicated scoring
regimes!
