The biggest deterrent to historic racing is eligibility rules. We have people on committees who tailor the rules to suit their own motorcycles. The first thing they do when writing rules is think about what should be excluded. They imagine that other guys who make modifications, are the reason they themselves are slow. Lap times don't mean much, some races are won by psychology in the pits. I usually try to help the other guys become faster. I do not care who beats me, they still have to ride the bike. I was really sad the first time I rode the Seeley 850 at Mount Gambier. There was a kid with a Honda 750 having a really good go at me, but when I put pressure on him, he gave up.
