Will Paul or Phil also be able to confirm which really was the bestest Spice girl too? :confused: :confused:

Well it is important, i'll check the handbook.

I'm sure they will be able to Northy, either a reply in this thread or perhaps e-mail the question to them? I'd say ask both of them, just for most accuracy.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah I know Chris :D But is says commercially available, doesn't mention production. My assumption is that it's to stop people (top drivers) running 'special' one-off tyres that only that team has access to.
I don't assume it is to stop people using up old tyres.

Like the front Losi studs they all used to use in the wet that were never on a parts list? :confused: :confused: :o :o :eh?: :eh?:

Thanks Northy, I needed that little reminder.
*concentrating mode ON*

Good point Jimmy.

I was forgetting the fact that commercially available does not necessaryilyly mean still being made. It could mean 1 shop has bought 100 pairs - and therefore commercially available beyond the end of the production run. BUt there is no mention of quantity in 23.7, so a shop could attend with 1 pair = that 1 pair is commercially available is it not?

This rule 23.7 seems to be a black hole, I think the only tyres I would be certain of not being able to use are cut and shuts and prototype tyre only made available to that manufacturers team drivers.... :wtf:

(very) :confused: So, if this rule did get tweaked to become specific, it would be a nightmare to police it!

Never mind tyres, think about all those illegal wheels at Tiverton ! ;) Mentioning no names of course! hehe

i will be there with tyres and everything else, any body wanting stuff bringing let me know

I have asked the question on email.

It's a hazy area.

I suspect the anwer will come back as,

1 - Baby
2 - Ginger
Joint 5th - The two mingers and the lezza one.

Whilst I agree this is an area Paul/Phil will have to confirm, people were running 2wd front BB spikes (pink I assume) at Tiverton so by precedent (if that counts) they should be allowed???

I've not got a reply yet, but we can only assune that Baby will be #1.

There may be a chance that Paul is more of a Shirley Bassey type however, maybe Sandy Shaw would be in with a chance.

Lulu?

Stu, step away from the beer.

Also to consider, with this now being very much a global sport, if a tyre is sold and readily available in one country, but not neccessarily here in the UK, it is "commercially available" but would it be accepted as legal?

I think essentially if one shop still has stock of a tyre freely for sale to the general public it constitutes "commercially available", however how can this be policed?

any update on the fittest spice girl?

...and the tyres?

To you mate its got to be Ginger spice! Maybe with one bad eye :D

Looking forward to racing Sunday. I always like racing at Kiddy. I am hoping it is going to be dry so can run shumachar yellows but will by others on the day if the rain does decide to fall.

Car is vertually ready just got to rebuild the front end as had some sort of binding at Oswestry in the final and the front diff now sounds a bit gritty :o

Weather forecast looks mixed for the weekend.. sun and showers... might mix things up a bit....

Phil Channon in the A again? :)

N

Please don't rain.
