Do they have a document that says a blown hemi in a model T roadster is a
documented, safe, crash proof way to design a vehicle?B 

TheB official statement,follows


Jack, I know you have been working on this for a few months now and would like
an different outcome but as of now there is no data to supportB  the safety of
the driver/rider in that position. B Therefore, until you can provide
documentation to support your theory that this prone position is safe for the
driver/rider the 5050 will remain red tagged.


Sincerely,


Van Butler


Motorcycle Committee Chair

Note; prone /forward control is allowed in sidecar class, that has no
structural protection,padding or restraint belts. When the said items are
added to a streamliner it becomes illegal!

What does this sound like?

Jack

After 6yrs. four riders and 10 records, "they" have banned (5050 Neb. IV) from
running as a sidecar."They" say I must produce an official published document
stating that laying prone forward is a crash survivable way to control a
vehicle.B

After "they" made a 6month effort with an expertB PHD document reader she
concluded that no document exists.

Which is only fair I guess.

P.S does anyone know of such a document? B
