Straightliners will not be running the Scooter Shootout in 2015, there are three reasons for this, one is the continued politics within the scooter scene and there is no way we want to continue to run the event with all the back biting from certain quarters still going on,

The second reason for not running the event is purely down to finances we have taken a loss for the last two years on this event and only made a small profit from the first two events we ran and without more support from all quarters of the scooter world it is just not possible to carry on

And thirdly we are going to implement a full or two piece leathers rule for 2015 this will have the effect of halving the entry at the shootout event as the twist and go boys would not be able to enter in there track suit bottoms and hoodys

We will still be running the X Race scooter Championship but this will be back to bracket class racing with brackets from 16.1 15.1 14.1 13.1 and a Top Scooter class

We are in talks with Frank from the Lambretta Street Racer site the only site that actively supports and helps Straightliners with scooter related events and some changes might be made to the above X Race class structure

Regards Trevor Duckworth (Straightliners)

That's a great shame, as I have enjoyed supporting this event over the last few years. Thanks for all your efforts, and good luck for the future.
