ALL COMPETITORS PLEASE NOTE: If you are attempting to enter a machine or component that is not obviously known to be eligible then you must have documented evidence that the machine or component was available in the period or is a visually indistinguishable replica of a machine or component available in the period. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE IF REQUESTED. DO NOT rely solely on another person’s opinion. PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY The onus of proof of eligibility shall rest wholly upon the rider or entrant of the machine. The eligibility and dating of machines for these classes shall be considered in terms of major and minor components and the period of the motorcycle shall be the period of the latest major component. For the purpose of these rules the “Post 90 Carbies” is defined as a model that ONLY came from the manufacturer with carburettors. No major or minor parts from later models that had Fuel Injection may be used.
