Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted March 25, 2009 Leadership Team Share Posted March 25, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a regulation in the blue book about tyres exceeding the width covered by the front wings? I am struggling to find time to get my wingstays shortened before Goodwood and would rather not fit my new wider wings until this has been done... Am struggling to find any reference to this in the B.B. Thanks - Michael Edited by - mcalvert on 11 May 2009 21:53:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Michael I think they're supposed to cover them but I ran with 215's and the standard wings at Shelsley last year without a problem. I'll mail you a picture. You've still got plenty of time to get it done before Goodwood, my car is still a week or so away from running let alone moving.

Clawhammer Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Michael, I feel purely out of a sense of responsability and fairness that, in the event of you finishing above me in class 3 I would have no other option but to bring this matter to the scrutineers attention for clarification. 😳 😬 😬 good luck SUPERLIGHT 176.

Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted March 25, 2009 Author Leadership Team Share Posted March 25, 2009 A dastardly plan which I will try to defeat by pullling my finger out & getting the problem sorted!

Englishmaninwales Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Needs to be road legal for class3.......but I won't say a word to the scruts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Fox Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi Michael, I would have thought that this is covered in the construction and use regs that are complied with for road use, we are in road going classes. Having seen Adrians and Martin Sargeant's 215s under standard wings I think it would be a harsh scrutineer that would fail you. However, I will be on my 175 fronts at Goodwood and will have the spare pair with me should you need to fit them at any time. See you there.

robmar Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Michael - how much would a shortened set of wingstays be worth to you then 🤔 they don't fit 215s though ☹️ rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Michael, Your wings usually blow off in the wind anyway don't they, so it won't be an issue Class 4 Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
