Power isn't everything. Our rules package aims for 215 peak HP.

Well The late model Motorcycle is good for between 215 hp for the 1000 CC motor to about 245 or so for the larger motor in racing form on Methanol. But they don't even start to make any power at all until after 10000 rpm's, that makes the 10500 limit a bit low for the newer motors. I would think your rules date back to the old 12000 cc days before electronic fuel injection. That number is about right for a 1200 cc oil cooled Suzuki with an after market ignition module. If we could tweak that rule just a little or even leave it out.
I'm from Kentucky if you want to be a "Handy Caper" do it how we do, do it with weight. Then in theory at the end of the race all 20 cars will come across the finish line side by side, that would be one neat race.
