Preparing a Marina for Trials
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:12 pm
Well, all we have done is to screw up the Torsion bars on the 2 bolts at the back of them and bolt a road sign under the sump for a guard.
The cars have to be taxed and mot'd plus you need to carry a foam fire extinguisher. You are only allowed standard tyres and no limited slip diff.
Regs are out now for the Lands End Trial which is Easter weekend if anyone fancies a go, perhaps we could get a marina team entry..
We failed two sections on the Exeter Trial one through driver error and one that nobody got up apart from dedicated trials cars.So instead of getting a medal we just were presented with a finishers certificate
As soon as i get a hour to spare I will write a full report on the event.
Regards
Martin
