Rules change for AHRMA 2014

Discipline & Current Rule #(s) Roadrace - FAIRINGS 9.7.10 b)
Name: Michael Moore
Member # : 1226
Current Rule: FAIRINGS 9.7.10 b) The front wheel must be visible
from the side and it must be possible to see the rider completely, in
the normal riding position, from either side and from above with the
exception of the forearms.
Proposed Change: add “and hands” to the end of the sentence so it
reads:
The front wheel must be visible from the side and it must be
possible to see the rider completely, in the normal riding
position, from either side and from above with the exception of
the forearms and hands.
Discussion: Various fairings that obscur the rider's hands as well as
forearms were in use during the 1960s and 1970s in Europe, Great
Britain and the United States. Fairings that obscure the rider's hands
have been used in AHRMA competition for many years. Examples
are the Peel Mountain Mile fairing, John Player Norton F750, and
John Cronshaw BSA Goldstar. The rule change will bring the rule
into alignment with both history and long-established AHRMA
practice.
