greeny Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Ok, I'm in need of someone whos clued up with class regs. Mrs Green has thrown out all my past Blue Books and I'm yet to apply for my new licence. This new Quaife 'universal' box - same dimensions as a Type 9 but apart from that it's an all new design (internals and casing) as far as I'm aware. 5 speed H pattern box (not sequential) with alloy casing. Would it be eligible for my usual roadgoing class(List 1As, windscreen, 2300cc etc) i.e. D in Speed Series, 5 in most msa events? Probably not Thanks Quote
Mark Stanton Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Simon If you are seeking an answer to a technical query for the speed series you will need to submit an e-mail or letter to Comp Sec, this will then be addressed with a ruling issued in due course. This is something that has been raised by others and is currently undergoing review and clarification by the MSA following a written request by the WSCC. However, you may also seek confirmation and advice with all other championship organisers that you intend to enter as their decisions may differ within specific championship rules Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Mark, How quick is the answer to such a query usually available? Time is now getting tight for the season start. Thanks, John Quote
Mark Stanton Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 The WSCC have submitted a query and requested a clarification on a eligibility interpretation and reference from the MSA, how quick they will answer, honestly don't know. I have spoken to MSA representatives, at which time there were ums and erms and even an ahhhh yes, at which time I was requested to put into writing either e-mail or letter, an e-mail has been sent which apparently is put to committee. Sorry can't offer any further information at present. What query do you wish to submit John ?? Please e-mail it through Quote
greeny Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 Many thanks Mark, an email has been sent. Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 QUOTE What query do you wish to submit John ?? Please e-mail it through Just curious. It would seem then that the MSA are not as fast as one would have thought. Quote
cast iron Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Engine and transmission casings must be of the original material by the blue book - what is original in a Westfield? or do they mean if Type 9 then it must be cast iron with a tin plate top? It will be interesting to see what the MSA say but I would have thought Type 9s need to stay as cast iron with tin plate top for road going. Likewise would the S2000 honda on the other pages with a carbon fibre bell housing be eligible for road going, I doubt it Quote

It will be interesting to see what the MSA say but I would have thought Type 9s need to stay as cast iron with tin plate top for road going. Rumour has it someone was disqualified from Class 1A of the NSCC/HSA Barkston Heath round last year for running with a Type 9 with alloy case. However, as you intimate the Quaife box has an alloy casing as standard so does that meet the Blue Book requirements? I'm sure all will be revealed in time. Quote
mhc Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Is it safe.( which film?) No prizes. Reference to carbon bellhousings in road going classes being legal. Refer to the Blue Book and the regs of the championships entered and please bear this in mind. If its not mentioned and banned it must be legal. regards. Quote
V 8 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Mornin' Mr C. Saw this at home before I went out and had no time to post a "makes coffee & draws up chair" or the like. Or "here we go again" Just put some slicks on it goodness me. Need those cycle wings soon m8 JT Quote
mhc Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hi John, I'am under house arrest at the moment. Unable to even hobble to the garage. Its nice to try and practice with my typing speed on the boardroom. Fully stocked with tea bags and rocky biscuits, wishing the S/Series was about to begin. Two and half stone overweight but its in the right place (around my A***). Looking forward to seeing how this thread developes. Regards Quote
V 8 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 What have you done m8. Nothing serious I hope? Quote
WebAdmin2 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 nothing a pack of rockies cant help cure.. Quote
lambo Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 From the Blue book 2006: Road going production (& specialist) cars a). The gearbox and diff casing must be of the original type and material and remain in the original position b). The method of gear selection must remain standard (sequential selection only where fitted as standard). Modified production cars. Transmission layout to remain as original. Gearbox free. Driven axle(s) free. Based upon that I would say that your setup would fall into the modified production class. I’m not sure, but I would say that that would put you in the speed series class F. Hope that helps! Quote
