Would a HB even qualify for the Bipe class? I'd think it would fall under the Sport class since its bigger. It could be cool if it could be built to fit the classification.

Oh, I don't know. I just thought they had raced in the past, maybe I am wrong.

Put a 360 in it with a fixed pitch prop and it would be legal for the biplane class. Bipes are not allowed in Sport class because of visibility issues. Someone went to PRS in a Pitts Model 12 a few years ago with the intention of running Sport class, but it wasn't allowed to race. Plus it would be pretty hard to have a bipe fast enough to qualify for the sport class field now. Even the medallion group is pretty fast.
Yes, there have been changes. For a time, there were Racing Biplanes and Sport Biplanes. The Sorceress and small number of others fit into the Racing Biplane Class. But that configuration was banned for Biplanes long ago.
The Sorceress, Sundancer and the Amsoil-Rutan Racer were interesting to watch, though. I remember how thrilled I was to see Mortensen stand up after his accident at the scatter pylon in the A.R.R.
