robert green Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I have a 2l zetec in standard tune, running on twin 40 DCOE carbs which I gather produces around about 160 bhp. Which class should this run in? Is it class 4? Is anyone running a similar car in this class? Thanks for your help in advance.

robmar Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yes class 4 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Robert Yes your car will be eligible for Class 4 and there are a couple of other Zetec powered cars in this class. If this is your first season in motorsport you will also be eligible for our novices championship. If you have any further questions please post on here or give me a call in the evening. Be warned sprinting can be very addictive Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert green Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks for the replies. One other question - Do the regs require the petty strutt to be in place on the latter Caged roll over bar? I have never needed it when competing in HSA events, and noticed this in the regs.

robmar Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 assume you are running list 1b tyres, then I think the answer is yes, although there is some confusion on this subject, and not specific to the l7 club i am sure Mark will confirm rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert green Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I am actually running 1A tyres, which may not be the most competitive, but I cannot justify changing them at present. Does this make a difference? Robert Green Zetec with Clams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i think it changes what MSA category you are in and hence the rule son roll over protection are different for them, I think. Like I say Mark will clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Robert Yes the petty strut is required and you may find scruitineers paying closer attention to this requirement at other events following changes in the regs for 2009/2010. List 1a tyres can be used in class 4 however, as they will not have the same level of grip as a 1b tyre do not expect to be as quick.
