I don’t enjoy mechanical torture of anything, and many of the cars seemed far too precious for such antics. I would have thought dabbing the clutch would be more effective than blue smoke.
Questions for all.
What tread pattern is allowed at the start? Are split handbrakes etc allowed?
What powers the Seven saloon? Many Sevens would struggle on that grade dry! Any theories for its success other than weight distribution and narrow tyres? Is the diff locked? The reaction of the children is priceless. Austin could have sold tens of thousands of cars new with that sequence.
When riding in Sevens easy to get the impression the springs do not do much. Trials pics certainly dispel that notion.
Yes Simon that’s Alan Bee at about 15:40
The ACTC have a list of approved tyres and in addition
‘any “Summer” tyre with a max tread gap not exceeding 8mm may be used.
Purely circumferential gaps can be ignored. A tyre will be deemed to have a block gap not exceeding 8mm if when fitted to a rim and inflated to 25psi a 8mm round bar will stick in the gap when horizontal.’
Split hand brake in classic trials not allowed.
The trials lads and lasses I am sure will comment on tweeks.
Diff lock not allowed.
