The British Scooter Sport Organisation
SCOOTER RACING 2005
 Scooter
racing has evolved from very innocent Reliability Trials held
by the Lambretta and Vespa Clubs back in the early 60’s
to the high speed racing of the 21st century. Racing for scooters
was deadly serious and in the early 70’s it arrived.
Over the following years scooter racing evolved into a serious
sport and produced many fine young sports men and ladies.
 The
BSSO are a Non Territorial Club within the Auto Cycle Union
(ACU). The ACU is the appointed body to run two wheeled motorised
sport in the UK. Under the ACU the BSSO looks after the scooter
sport side of the business. The BSSO currently run classes
for almost any scooter produced. The classes start from 50cc
and run up to 650cc. These cover both Solo and Sidecar classes.
The race meetings take place at different venues throughout
the season and the 2005 Calendar is currently shown at The
British Scooter Sport Organisation
 Riders
as young as 11 and up can enter events and ride in the National

regulations cover both young and older riders. Membership
