neil.cavanagh Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Martin, well not the ONLY reason... *tongue* But it is a good excuse... 😬 😬 I do know that I was considerably quicker to 64' last year (my novice year) with 50bhp less and less sticky tyres, so more is not ALWAYS better... Back on-topic. I thought the chagnes for this year were very good. Class 4 has had low entrants but we sort of knew that. Hopefully people will start joining class 4 more next year.. Martin and I need some more people to beat! 😬 😬 (or more likely for me lose to!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Rolls On The Floor Laughing My Ar8e Off. Thanks for clearing that one up Anyway as for the regs I think it worked very well this year and look foward to the changes encourages more into class 4 next year. The only slight nagging I have is the policing of the power limits but I guess thats a discussion for another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 the only downside being smaller entries at Curborough although this did allow us to have three timed runs I thought 3 timed runs really made the day, and especially it allowed one class 2 competitor a chance to post a time 😳 😬 Malcolm Edited by - Englishmaninwales on 20 Oct 2007 01:40:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ACB10s....... OK so I'm a "big baby", but the Kumho's are just as good so why do we need to ban ACB10's? It's a real PITA to change camber for my trackday set up (x-ply slicks) and sprints (radial Kumho's). The extra cost is worth it to me to avoid the hassle of changing camber on all four corners between each trackday and sprint. It is putting me off doing more sprinting. The ban has made it clear that there are cheaper options that are just as good which is good to know, but now that we've ascertained that, can we allow ACB10's again?

robmar Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Alex - i think it has more to do with the perception that allowing acb10's put newcomers off entering rather than on a pure cost/performance basis... rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Alex Enter on ACB10's Class 6. Clean up all the points and compare your times to Class 5. Competition - Satisfaction - Trophies 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 allowing acb10's put newcomers off entering But I dont think it will anymore, as we all know Toyo's and Kumho's are as good (I think the Kumho's may even be better) for a fraction of the cost. It would only put people off if ACBs were clearly better. PS, I'm trying hard not to sound like I'm complaining. If I was a regular competitor, I'd feel within my rights but as a one event a year sprinter, maybe I should keep my opinions to myself!! 😬 Edited by - Alex Wong on 22 Oct 2007 17:16:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Alex when on BC has anyone kept there opinions to themselves 😬 Simon - assuming no one moves up from class 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted October 22, 2007 Leadership Team Share Posted October 22, 2007 Danny - a move to class 4 sounds like the best idea I've heard all day (for the rest of us lower down class 3 anyway 😬) Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sounds like there may be a load of Trophy Hunters around next year 😳 (no names cough cough Nelson, cough Margel). Personally i prefer the competition in Class 5. Unless being beaten in Wales by an Englishman Giving it some Welly. As Always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Simon - i don't think you need to worry about me next year, i don't think I should be worrying the top contenders in class 5 much plus I have a list as long as your arm of excuses when I do badly next year rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well if the fast class 3 boys are coming to class 4 then I'm going to de-tune my Zetec and move to class 3 Class 4 Zetec ....and suffering withdrawal symptons Edited by - Martin S. on 23 Oct 2007 11:28:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My only suggestion wouild be to leave the regs as is to get some stability and encourage fresh blood with PR and nice reports (as seen) ,maybe consider reducing the number of rounds and possibly having a core championship of club events again which could carry extra points to reduce the diluted entries and profitability concerns seen this season. Back to basics as it were ?. here is C7 TOP Taffia rear gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offspring Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Despite being a little low on power with only a 100bhp I was pretty happy with Class 1 - though as RichardO suggested a long time ago, can we consider wacky racer style telescopic timing struts to help my chances next year 😬 I only manageged two Sprint/Hill Climb events because of illness - the intention is to enter quite a few more events next year, how may other potential Class 1 people will there be?

Jason Plato Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I havent done much this year owing mainly to my business and a few elec probs with c7top and the duratec. Maybe 6 circuit races n' 6 sprints in 08 ?. I also have problems with avon x ply slicks vs radial sprint rubber in class 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokko Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Al how may other potential Class 1 people will there be? I’m a potential for class 1 next year. Repeated cajoling from Neil1202 has convinced me that I want to, no, need to sprint next season. SWMBO is far from happy though based upon my grass cutting exercise @ Curbs last year. Interesting to read this thread from this time last year - Why do you not take part in the club sprints??

FlymoFraser Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Blokko Repeated cajoling from Neil1202 Well you looked like you needed some encouragement 😬 You certainly need some more practice at Curborough 😳 😬 Interesting to read the other thread one year on having gone from prospective to veteran (of 1 year) R287 Mobile Jaffa Cake- It's black at both ends with a smashing orangey bit in the middle here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
