2011 battle of the states rover park 11-13 june

[oozuk]

So who is going to the battle of the states ?

I'm thinking about it but i am struggling to find vehicle requirements as to if we need window nets, helmets, kill switches ect ect

below are the links to what i have found so far

http://www.roverpark.com.au/images/stor ... y-form.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

it has a basic outline of the classes but that's all, so is this event pretty relaxed still these days ? it's been close to 8 years since I've competed at a battle of the states so I'm sure a lot has changed.

[oozuk]

and if any body could answer the question if the vehicles need to be registered to compete ?

and if any body could answer the question if the vehicles need to be registered to compete ?

If you read the flyer that you had a link to, you would have seen the answer very clearly

SATURDAY 11TH TO MONDAY 13TH JUNE
FAMILY FUN WEEKEND FOR STANDARD & LIGHTLY MODIFIED 4WDs
ROAD REGISTERED VEHICLES ONLY

[rocklux]

i know the flyer says standard and lightly moded 4wds, and the entry form says no tyres bigger than 35s. but ive been down to watch for the last couple of years and there has been cars on 37s n 38s.

[A.R.T Racing]

Is this the case that they do let cars run with bigger tyres?

[Mr DJ]

Best to make a quick phone call to Rover (02) 6737 6862 to check.
I understand this is the first year the tyre size is being limited as last year the some parts got a bit ripped up with some silly stuff on big rubber with the loud pedal.
It's aimed more at a family friendly & fun comp not really hard core "playing for sheep station" kind of thing.


CLASSES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Standard: engine classes, Tyre size no greater than 31 inch, No lockers.
Lightly modified: engine classes, Tyre size no greater than 33 inch, lift no higher than 2 inch springs and 2 inch body, locked & unlocked.
Open class: No engine criteria, Tyre size no greater than 35 inch, lift no higher than 5 inches, locked & unlocked.
Seatbelts must be worn & if no window nets/wrist straps window must be up during competition.
Usual safety stuff.

Will be back again this year and will be the first big test since the V8 conversion. If you see a SASed V8 Surf running 35's come and say G'day, see ya there

I saw that information on the flyer , I was also interested in the safety requirements, I called them
Window nets are not needed
Softtops need to wear a helmet but if fiberglass top no helmet is needed
It seems like pretty relaxed requirements.

I'll be there, as soon as I can secure a car trailer I'll nominate

[P@nda]

I'll be there, been there the last few years and have had an absolute ball. You can't miss my zuke, so come say Hi.

[patroler 01]

bowie, if you do the speed slide in this weather be sure to let me know, we'll all come down and cheer / laugh at you. Hang on, my stupid kids will probably do it if they get a chance.

[oozuk]

I've been keeping an eye on the weather, it's gonna be bloody cold !!!

I've heard they canceled the night drags due to the cold weather!! bit of a bummer really, as the cold weather will just make the cars go better
