Just a little one for you avon virgins.

You are going to be racing use a catch tank from your rad overflow pipe, a coke can or pastic bottle cable tied in.

Might save you queuing back up to scrutineer.

Jon.

good point!

I've not got one... last time they ask me that question I said I did... but I thought they ment for the breathers LOL!

Battery also needs to be securely fastened -
I've had a piece of rope holding mine down succesfully for the past few years!

No nitrous obviously in the road-going class... I was speaking to Dave Hollis from the BMC yesterday (about the write-up i'll be doing) and he mentioned they're aware someone was secretly running it last year and will therefore be watching out for them!

Of course - road-tyres only in class-D aswell!

Good thread, useful for us noobs. Shame we dont have the car ready, but I'll keep note of this for next year!!

cheers jon would not have done a catch tank for the rad

anything else you can think of?

can it be of any size? will my 500ml bottle be ok?

yup anything will do. most people just bodge in an empty beer can or something. just to stop the overflow water going on the track thats all.

I got picked up on my seats not locking down the first year i went aswell, sorted with a few cable ties i think

Thanks for reminding me, thats something else to do.

Gaypride..any size.

As Dave said, secured battery.

Seatbelts, people have not had them in the past!

DRIVERS LICENSE!!!!..take it!

Just looked at the weather. I reckon you best include a high SPF sun protection cream and a hat on that list.

Oh, and a helmet, if you have one.

And a long sleve top

Thanks Wil_h, much appreciated. I was wondering if they had introduced a road going section for Class I yet, looks like I will be running against space framed cars

common, tell us what you've got. I can see you're itching too.

I always try and get in class G, but they never fall for it. Class A for me this year though.

So by the sounds of things there quite strict on leaks etc....

Mine leaks a bit of oil out of a gearbox gasket, I take it they won't let me run?

Well I recognise the username MarkLD from 16vmini - so I'm guessing it's got more valves than us mortals!

things to do at avon - decide on a new user name (and twat will not be one of the options)

should be ok, give it a good clean underneath just before you take it to be scrutineering. or a dab of silcion sealent on the outside may stop it dripping for long enough. as long as its not major you should be fine.

We've tie-rapped a rag under the timing chain cover to absorb iol in the short term to get throiugh scrutineering.

The Half moon seal had gone, and that's abigger job than tie-rapping rags every couple of runs.

Sounds like a plan i'll "engineer" some rags to fit and some silicon for good measure.

My mates bringing an Uno Turbo along do you think they'll let him on the strip?
