Child seat in a 420R (S3 chassis; Carbon Tillets)
Mcalvert replied to lapsedtheorist's topic in TechTalk
That looks "made to measure" - very smart! -
Dear all, We haven't (yet?) had anyone volunteer to write a report from the opening Championship rounds at Anglesey, and I'd really like to include something in May's LF, particularly as entries are a little weak so far this year. As an alternative, is there someone who would be willing to have a call with me early next week so we can talk through what happened, I can take notes and build reports based on that please? I go to print at the end of next week so time is rather short unfortunately. Thanks! Have a great time at Goodwood and look forward to catching up with everyone at Curborough.

Hi Roger - sorry to see you hanging up your helmet but it's been a long and illustrious sprint career. Seeing as you still carry the yellow trowel in your profile picture, I do hope you won't mind my posting what I think was the funniest series of pictures from Loton in '07 (something tells me you may remember the occasion!) To anyone who wasn't there, be assured that the car (and Roger) emerged completely unscathed 🙂

Right, having entered the Championship and secured entries at Prescott, I guess I should extract my head from the sand and start looking into helmets again in earnest. Still struggling to get my head around the interplay between FIA and Snell. Has anyone else had a moment of clarity?

I believe Andrew may be travelling at the moment so please see below an extract from the provisional Club calendar 2024 that's in December's Lowflying and that will land on doorsteps this week. It shows just the core Championship events, not the other invited events.

Just for the record, the chassis stamp on slightly later Arch chassis is also on the rear suspension mount but in a different format. This is my car (not very clear as has been repainted) but it says AM90 at the top (Arch Motors 1990) and J2 on the side for Jig 2 (they have/had 2 different chassis jigs, no doubt with slightly different tolerances, so this is to make sure the chassis goes back on the right one if it's ever back for repairs).

I have heard (indirectly but from an authoritative source) linked to the MSUK sprint and hillclimb sub-committee that is that It is unlikely there will be an extension to the SA2010, but that if your helmet is to FIA 8860-2010 as well then it continues to be valid. They are separate standard, a helmet can be both, and many apparently are. Not sure how many people that may help?
