So can we start building buggies now that rego must be no great issue?

[MissGU]

The Polaris are a complete seperate set of rules to a buggy.. Phil Swindale has started a thread in this section on all the do & don't andcarp like that .. i'd be starting there if i were you

Two different issues here. One problem I forsee with buggies or unregisteres 4x4s is how you regulate them and keep them even within classes, otherwise the onus is well and truely put on event organisers to heavily scrutineer to ensure parity of engineering and class rules. (Thus adding to the cost of an event and the number of officials required etc etc). AKA CAMS events. I don't think there has been a year go by that there hasen't been some arguement/discussion about what should be eligible for TUFF TRUCK and what is not.

We have written the class rules around the Polaris product very much basically how it comes out of the box, with very little modifications other than for safety allowed. Hence we are doing everthing we can to ensure event organiseres are not burdened with excessive class rules and modifications allowances to keep the whole thing simple and easy. This also makes life alot easier for insurance, sponsorship and competitors wallet's.

Please don't think we are trying to highjack any events here, what we are trying to offer is an alternative "budget" class, especially given trophy class has had limited success with numbers.

Hello Folks,

We made mistakes with the rules and the scoring and by going back over the sheets and in the fairest possible way we are declaring the attached results as final.

I again apologise for the mistakes and we will improve the process to avoid it happening again.

Regards,

Mike
