Im going to see a classic race here nearby in Linköping this weekend and try to find out the rules and regulations. I doubt however that efi will be permitted. This race is usually dominated by a guy with a Seely G50.

you guys are a great inspiration!

The GT can be fitted with a carb of any size necessary, as long as the ignition side is handled without the ECU, and is able to reach the necessary rpm limit without a rev limiter interfering..

I'd love to see a G50 Condor in action!

Click on that YouTube link that Bullet Whisperer posted earlier on this page, about the FAB 500 winning the race.
The bike that finished in 2nd place was a Seeley G50.

YouTube and the RealThing live are two pair of shoes however.

Yes, nothing beats being there.
But at least it's a video of the race, where you can see and hear.

For the next round not only will the 350 be running, but they might even get Ian's name right! 

[Bullet Whisperer]

I can confirm the 350 is running again and I ran her up to 9000 rpm in neutral on three occasions, building the revs up steadily to that point and all seems well. Hopefully, it will have a rev limiter fitted by the time it races again, though

Some sort of 7R and Manx limiter would be a bonus! That must be the rider's job.

There does not seem to be many racing tires availabe for vintage racers. If it is not a secret, may I ask what sort that is you use?

Hi Ottonian,
 We use Dunlop KR 124 on the rear of both, KR 825 on the front of the 350 and KR 145A on the front of the 500, all are 18".
 For anyone who may be interested, we finally have the footage taken from on board the 500 from when it won that race, there are two films, nearly all the event is captured on the first one, with the final moments leading up to the win seen in the second film. I apologise in advance for the poor film quality, but it was raining very heavily and the first four minutes or so of 'warming up', with not much else happening at the beginning of the first film and also for the long wait in the paddock after the race, but Ian had to jump straight on to the Crusader after winning on the 500, with no time to mess with the camera. He won all four races on the Crusader, by the way

Cool! What top speed did you hit in the race? I read somewhere that the Manx can do up to 150 mph.

I don't know what speeds were reached, I doubt that Ian, my Brother and the rider of these machines knows either, but Lydden is not a fast circuit and low gearing is a must there and even then, I think he only gets to use three gears out of the five most of the time.
 I know the 350 used to be capable of 114 mph with either of the 'old' engines fitted and the new one should be faster. The 500 was able to top 125 mph [certified 110.51 mph on sand] before we had the Ace high ratio rockers modification done and power has increased by over 5 bhp as a result, so no doubt it can go a fair bit faster on the right gearing
