Wheel coverage for comps?
Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 6:18 pm
I plan to use my Sierra in smaller comps like the Bong Bong challange, Willowglen, toperi blahh blahh blahh..... Nothing to big. It will be in the open class because of tyre size and diff locks. Now I have spent the last few days reading through the CCDA4x4 and the tuff truck rules and can not for the life of me find the "guidelines" for this class. Now I know Tuff truck is a little different and mine will never make it there but they are the only comp that actually gives exact specs.
(COPY FROM TT11 RULES)
Coverage over wheels – 28 / 07 / 2010 – Front – All vehicles will have front guards attached to the body either parallel in width to the B pillar (min) or to the inside edge of the tyre tread. These are to be constructed from a minimum of 25 mm steel tube and covered of rigid material for vehicles that have completely removed original gaurds. Rear Guards will be assessed on application but are not compulsory.
But when I read through the CCDAfwd rules there is no ruling on wheel coverage. There is for the other classes but not for open class.
open class rules are 4.5. The only ruling I can find is in the all classes tyres section 6.1.7.

On the toperi web site the rules have nothing about wheel covers.

Can some one in the know shed some light on this for me. Someone that has been to these events and knows.
