RE: MGP Start Numbers
Well, 7 weeks (plus one day here) is first Saturday practice... but yes I plan to leave home on the 20th and arrive on (and likely miss) first practice session. I am happily doing all my final preparation chores... and just a few hours ago I got permission from work for the time off... WHEW..!! The boss is letting me miss a big week of meetings... I better bring him a nice shirt and hat...!!
There is NO place I would rather be late August..! See you there..!!!
Cheers..!!!

RE: MGP Start Numbers

A "R" clip must be fitted around the hook of the spring catch to prevent accidental opening during racing. This does not involve drilling the catch as the "R" clip rests against the body of the filler cap thus preventing the catch from moving. At the fuel stop, pull out the "R" clip and put it back again after refuelling.
This new regulation will be included in the final instructions

Thanks for the advice Jeff, I will look at that later on.
I assume you mean the leg of the R clip to fit between the hook and the body of the cap to stop it being pushed back?
Are you going to require that these R clips are cable tied on the open end as well?
Ron, download the event regs from the MGP site appendix 2 section 1 I think refers to the oil containment requirements for classic bikes.
I'll finish it one day!
