Team Idris Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would think LRS, as it says no to portal axels and hydro steer and tyres over 35" so it tends to be less crazy. (Check tyre size with LRS is I'm not 100%) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchclass90 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 santas challenge will be coming up again soon,, december 8th/9th. if you driving the distance it might aswell be for a 2 day event, not silly rules to worry about, plus you can book rooms at the pub it starts and finishes from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Idris Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes, I remember now it being mentioned as okay. It suprised me as it went against the grass roots concept? Here's the rules for LRS, which show 36" tyres, so I was guessing wrong there. (UK Landy only clubs are 33" and a load of other extra rules) 9. TECHNICAL REGULATIONS All vehicles must comply with the current MSA technical regulations and must have four wheels, all driven, and pass scrutineering before starting the event. The maximum vehicle width shall be 2000mm (78 ¾ inches). The maximum tyre diameter shall be 915mm (36 inches). Portal axels, four wheel steering and/or duplicate drive wheels are not allowed. All competitors must comply with P55.1.9. The use of winch sails and gloves is compulsory. Crash helmets are to be used if a solid roof is not fitted. The helmet must comply with K10.1. Competitors in ALL classes must use a ground sheet when working/repairing vehicles and carry a small spill kit complying with J5.20.13. (P57.5.3.) Personal Protective Equipment is highly recommended. The use of wire (metal) winch cable is prohibited. ONLY synthetic rope is allowed on any fitted winch on the competition vehicle. The main thing is the MSA rules. They insure the bulk of events, so if you comply with those you should be ready to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbloke Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Why not look at something in the southeast. Makes it easier to travel and keeps the fuel costs down. We run a 4 event calender each year and are teamed up with the Flanders Landrover club, some of whom come over and join our events. http://www.twinaxle.com/phpbb/index.php http://www.flrc.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
