Message for jcb

Hi jcb,
 
This is Michael in my role of Community Manager. Like the others I am enjoying the debate you started on Wheels and Blower's. However I have a request. We don't know who you are. If you check out the community rules you will see that we can only hide behind an alias if everyone knows who your real identity. eg Giraffe would clearly be Simon W as we all know that's the nickname for his car. So we would like your real name or an identifiable alias and also it's good to have a valid e-mail address. Hope you can go along with this.

Larger wheels and blowers

In reply to banning cars with larger wheels and blowers in class 8.  I use a Liege in classic trials, as do a few other competitors, it has 16 x 3 period wheels and 16 x 5 Avon tyres (tyres designed in 1954 and still in production) cost £39 each. The Liege at 460 kg uses a Reliant engine at 40 bhp on a good day, with the optoinal blower fitted a bit more, should the Liege be banned?  Peter Davis.

oversized wheels/superchargers

Here is a thought for all you competitors out there.There have been many ideas thrown about to reduce the ability to 'climb' a hill, which should initially i believe be aimed at class eight competitors.Whilst trials is supposed to be a budget motorsport,so surely an easy way to close up class eight would be to ban wheels above 15 inch in diameter.
I am not a competitor in this class but i believe these large tyres cost something in the region of 짙100,a figure not condusive of attracting new talent to the class.
Also on most of the entry forms you get you are asked about whether or not your car has forced induction or not, so how come a supercharged car stays in the same class----what was the point of asking said question!! All i have to do now is get the zetec fully mapped in the escort now and i too will have 150+ bhp .If any one has any thoughts lets have a reply.
