See the proposed regs below…
The intention was that we could get just the Class C boys chatting on here – so as not to p*ss on Joneseys chips, but FYI there are the Class A and B regs too…
All classes ( sporting, not technical )
Clarification of grid times used to set two grids from a single qualifying session. Use of first and second fastest times. Trying to avoid inconsistancy if championship has some classes running in another race.
Points scoring to only use official posted race results. No more point for entry on in time. Easier for those that want to keep score for themselves. Also with many completing the season entry form it has become irrelevant to its original purpose of encouraging people to enter before the closing date. However, it is still felt by mgcc that this is an incentive worth keeping so perhaps we put the season entry list up on the website or push for closing date entry lists from the club.
Class A
Clarification of Shock absorber mounting regs. Make it very clear that the shockers can only mount on existing mounting holes, no extra holes or alternate mountings like turrets.
Fibreglass panels may only replace bolted panels. No fibreglass rear wings or rear valences etc. However no replacement of doors whether cage has door bars or not.
Restriction on cylinder head mods. As well as valve size restrictions we could specify inlet/exhaust port/gasket dimensions.
Allow MGC to run a non standard cam. Currently the MGC is restricted to a standard cam and it has been asked if a sportier option could be allowed. If the engine is built to the limit of the current regulations will it be slower than an MGB?
Class B
Restrict MGB V8 models in Class B. 3.5 litre engines only? Do we continue to allow 3.9 engines. Several people are looking at building/buying cars and have 3.9 engines. Do we set the 3.9 weight higher as per the MGR V8?
Move MGB V8 models to Class C. Same comments as above.
Restrict MGC models. Two main areas where mgc is possibly ahead, induction and tyre size. Reduce tyres back to same as B variants on 6inch rims. Restrict carbs to production SU HS or HIF 6.
Restrict class B current popular cars to encourage Midgets. How do Midget times compare? Similar to MGC above we could restrict the carbs or tyres on MGBs. This would be at odds with the Cockshoot regs and would not allow a progression from class A
Should any form of differential other than original be allowed? Currently the MGB and V8 are allowed limited slip but not locking differentials, should this continue, should it extend to other models?
Class C
V8 to be 3.5 litre only. See class B point above. Currently class B allows 3.9 litre engines and if we put all V8’s in class C what engine maximum is allowed.
Further clarification of K series regulations. Clarify the spec of the K series engine.
What a weekend! The last races of the season at Snetterton were two of the best – a great and fitting end to the season. So what happened I hear you ask?
Following a couple of failed attempts on track at Cadwell Dan and Ollie had some work to do before Snetterton. Ollie had a problem with a throttle sensor which was easily rectified but Dan’s problem was more fundamental… a short time after Cadwell Dan discovered a heavy box in the corner of the garage containing odd implements. What could these be? These conspicuous metal objects seamed to fit nuts and bolts, that’s right, Dan got to grips with the spanners in an effort to stop the gearbox cross member falling off again! More on this later… (more…)
