Clawhammer Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi All, Wanting to do both Curborough events this year. Having not sprinted since 2009, what has changed? Any new requirements for helmets or car I need to know about. Still going to be in class 3. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Robin - excellent news  since 2009 - not sure what has changed, you have to wear appropriate cloves (MSA) but besides that... rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Great news. I think Rob means gloves and they need to be a approved . I would also check the helmet. once again good to hear your coming back for some fun and banter.  David  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It will be good to see 'The Hoff' back in the paddock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I am still running with the same gear I had in 2009. The only difference is that you can now run with list 1b tyres in class 2B,rather than being restricted to list 1a. It is worth a couple of seconds on a double lapper now that people are dialled in to them. Â Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thats the General MSA Class 2B - Not Lotus 7 Club Class 2 which is still List 1A. Good to see you back Robin - will you still be wearing matching lipstick as the car 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawhammer Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well it looks like I might have to purchase some new gloves and possibly helmet. The fluerescent pink seems to have mellowed, as have I, (I am now a married man, made an honest woman of Viv last year.) I shall now be mostly having bright orange lips for the return of the hoff. I will need to check out the speedo website to see if they do matching trunks as the weather seems to have made this the appropriate garment for under my racing suit. 😳 I do have some 2 year old soft Khumos, do you think they will still be good?

Adrian Williams Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Good to hear you're coming back Robin. I used some 2 year old Khumos a couple of times last year, I wouldn't describe them as 'good' but they're certainly useable once you've put the first run behind you.

Clawhammer Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Quoting Aeroscreens: Quoting Clawhammer: Hi All, Having not sprinted since 2009, what has changed? Robin Everybody's got a little faster . Welcome back Hi Chris,  I think the increased speed is due to improoved track conditions since I last sprinted. I can't believe they have all become more skillful. 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill E Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Congratulations Robin and welcome back! Adrian Williams - General Secretary? - are you stealing back my gig? I can let you have all the files back 😬  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So are there no new technical changes for 2013 ? I haven't got my blue book yet to check. Â Whats the minimum spec for Helmets has that changed lately ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sorry Gill, you can keep all the files I've updated my signature. I had signatures turned off so had no idea, no change there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
