I've entered my 2013 4/4 in The Motorcycling Club's John Aley Trial on the 26th June. This the first trial I've ever done on four wheels. Previous trials on bikes have been simple - just turn up & ride.
Reading the regs carefully (& admittedly late in the day) I see there are all sorts of requirements by the supervising bodies of motor sport so I would appreciate any words of wisdom from people who have participated in the past.
we're entered for the R (classic road) class and there are 3 things I can see I need: fire extinguisher(s), spill kit and decent towing eye. Is there anything I've missed?
I have a couple of questions I'd like help with:
- are AFFF (foam) extinguishers required - I've ordered 2 one-litre bottles
- is it OK for fire extinguishers to be loose on the floor or rear shelf
- does the factory fitted towing eye meet the required standard
If needed I plan to bolt the mount for one fire extinguisher to the lid of the tool tray and bolt the other to a board in the passenger footwell - that way they can't bounce around and there's one up front & one behind
Any advice would be welcome.
I bought Matilda 2 years ago and had to wait 18 months to get a chance to enter any trial!
