Farleigh.......

If they were good enough to score points last year then why not this year? If there was 40 plus outfits trying to enter this and other meetings then you have an opportunity to be critical, but in my oppinion it would still be wrong. The Wolffe frames are close to BSU geometry, but a BSU is only a copy of an EML anyway and i have measured Gary's frame and its within a gnats cock of Perry Millers standard Yam EML. Why all of a sudden are these frames not eligable? I have measured Mark Kinges frame and it is the same as Perry's EML, and i think Kevin Hollister has made a wonderful job in designing it to look like a Wasp. As its the same geometry as an EML, if Kevin had made it to look like one would people be cribbing about it? There was a few snide remarks made about it in Kleinhau, but i for one have no objections to this frame, or any of the others, and in Kleinhau the better man won.If Mark had finished mid pack would people be concerned about his bike as much as they are? And as for Chris Walkers bike being modified, isn't everyones in some form or another. What is going to happen to Michael and Sue Mead then if they return on their mighty home built Godden outfit!!!? It would be nice if the main concern of pre 85 sidecar cross was twinshock twins, that way we would all be on an even keel, and I understand there are lots of fores and against in having a frame built, but in this minority sport shouldn't we be encouraging people to come and join us and not condemning those that do try. Regards to all.
