....and it is often quicker too.

According a Demon Tweeks blog on understanding helmet standards a Snell SA2015 expired 31.12 23 but a dual standard FIA 8859-2015 & Snell SA2015 has no expiry date which suggests that an FIA standard is greater than the SA2015 as advised to me by MUK.

How about a bag set but read Mike Bee's canoe story first

The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask….

Interesting, now you’ve made me wonder what mine is like! Still the Zetec is embarrassingly quiet at noise tests at just 92-94db 😀

Rob, that looks like the loose acoustafil? Have you tried the acoustafil blanket. In my experience the blanket lasts much longer.

I’m not sure if a tall double D cage was ever manufactured? The only tall ones I’ve seen are the older style single diagonal cages

I've used Comma G30 in my both of Radtecs since 2010 with no leaks, the first one only leaked because a Subaru Forester tried to mate with the front of my 7 in 2015.

I note from the calendar in the speed section that Prescott and Harewood are shown as double championship headers. Is this now confirmed after the discussions?

Lewis, I know this means keeping the battery on top of the passenger footwell but have you considered mounting the ECU on the rear of the front bulkhead?

Clive, I don't think there were any changes to the provisional results that were posted here

That would get my vote and certainly help me, thanks for your efforts Andy 👍.

Like you Alan I tend to only enter events I enjoy and yes, I might well consider Wiscombe as a non-championship event. Harewood and Prescott seem ideal double headers (if possible). In my mind, less events equals less choice and I'm not entirely convinced that is a good idea. Looking at the final results for last year of the 52 entrants only 25 managed to compete in 7 or more. Perhaps we need to find out if there are reasons other than financial. IMHO we already have this year too many sprints (8) compared to hillclimbs (4). Trackdays seem to be gaining popularity in the club perhaps we could find a way of enticing those into sprinting?

More double events for me please. At least competitors will have a choice of 1 or 2 days at the same venue. Generally speaking I think the invited days have been quite popular in the past so adding them in as qualifying rounds seems a no brainier. re ratio, sadly it hasn’t helped we have lost 2 circuit this year.

I spoke with MUK this afternoon re helmet standards and expiry dates. The guy was quite helpful but could not give any definitive answers other than FIA standard trumps Snell. So if you have dual standard FIA 8859-2015 and SA2015 then it can still be used after the Snell expiry date of 31.12.26. So his argument was that the FIA8859-2015 will have at least 4 years or more. It was suggested that if you wanted to be certain of a later epiry date then the FIA 8860-2018 would be a better bet but, of course, more expensive. I think 8860 are all Carbon?
