21st Cobra Nationals

I am pretty sure the regs state that only one set of wheels/tyres are permitted.
This is to help ensure there are not unnecessary delays with the different events on the Saturday with people wanting to fit drag radials and then swapping to circuit tyres for the hill climb.

Vehicle Requirement 17.i Tyres of the same specification and size as presented at the vehicle check, must be used in all events. If circumstances create the need to change any tyre it will come under the control of the Clerk of Course.

Open to interpretation I feel, if the car was entered as two separate entities and presented to scrutineering twice, each time in the appropriate guise, who knows?

A call for the Clerk? A definite time waster though.

Jeez Les, look what you've opened up.

David, thanks for the on topic intelligent response.
I don't see it as a huge issue. Especially when there is discussion regarding the lack of entries (cars).

If they( the organisers) allow a single car to have two drivers and each driver pays a nomination fee and competes in a different event simply by changing wheels/tyres (ie does not hold up proceedings) then it would increase the monetary receipts for the event.

I recall the Victoria Club allowing for wives to drive the same car as the husband at the Shelby Fests.

My posted question is really only a variation of the above concept.

Les, its more so probably just hard for the organisers to keep track of who's who in the zoo. The what, where, whens. The event volunteers do a great job in often trying conditions so simplicity is key in helping them to some degree.

With that in mind a dual entered car in the same class would mean that both drivers can compete apples v apples against each other as well as the others in that class and overall which is a bit of added healthy competition. They could even swap who goes out first in alternating events so each shares the cold car cold tyres scenario.

With events closing today a BIG THUMBS up again to the organisers MarkH Phil, Neil and the rest of The NSW Nats Committee. Looking forward to a friendly safe dry fun couple of days...with a plastic trophy thrown in for the lucky few.

Sorry Kim, missed adding your name in there. My bad.

Sorry Les I missed your last post. Getting all three events completed for each entrant in a single class shared car is already a big ask, throwing a tyre change in would really stretch it. Might as well stay with the single class double entry. A double entry is still paid.
But I like the idea of a single driver double entry, far more track time but you would benefit greatly from a pit crew.

Half price second entry, that could get a few extra in
