RE: dropping of oil
In all US Road Race Classic Events run by AHRMA, oil containment is required, and yes that includes Daytona. I run a "dam" in the back part of my fairing, but I also have "diapers" which are special oil absorbment mats that hold about a quart of oil each. And yes my bike had them here, even though they were not required. So, you really need the diapers to absorb the oil and also keep the oil from sloshing. I have no idea how good they work, but I promise that when my bike gets back home, I will dump two quarts of oil in there and find out..! (the faring will be off the bike, I will dump in the oil and see if I can make any slosh out... and if so how much.) This would not be a 100% scientiffic result, but if most of the oil stays inside, then for my bike I would feel good about what I had done. (Also see http://www.ahrma.org for their on line rule book and info for those interested). Also note that for the last two years, I had made my bike available to two different racers (one English one Irish), and will put another chap (or one of the same) on it for next year. I now have a waiting list of guys.... so please do not ask for this next year....sorry....
