How do Hillclimb classes and regs work for specials?
I wanna build a a tube frame special to use in khanacrosses and motorkhanas. However, the thought of strapping on some road tyres and having a crack
at a hillclimb (or a clubsprint) is very appealing.
How do the classes work? Are there specific regs for specials?
I had a look in a cams manual and couldn't find any detailed specs. Is there a website or something?

From my limited understanding, unless you fit in formula V etc, any tube frame will be classed as a formula libre?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Correct bix! hows the new engine going? Formula libra....hummmmmm four wheels and the race starts at 2! A motorkana special with upgraded roll cage
specs is a legal libra! Any tube frame that is not part of any oter formula class can run as a libra at hillclimbs, as long as the saftey aspects of
the cams manual are met.

Pete unless you are doing a state round, we have types 1 to 5 and SV.
Type 1 is a factory car.
Type 2 very limited mods, such as computer chip.
Type 3 (3J) gets a little leniant. Any engine that is same location, configuration, and manufacturer as factory. regs
Type 4 (sports sedan) perspex windows, flared guards, spoilers, any engine. So long as basic shape of car remains as factory.
Type SV limited compliance and 4WD cars.
Type 5 anything that doesnt fit into above.
formula libra, Historic Nc, marque sports etc... all them other ones dont relate to multiclub events.
So it doesnt matter what you have, so long as it has steering, brakes, harness, fire extinguisher and battery triangle you should be able to run it in
any club speed event.
Edit: this is NSW information, other states may be different.

Ta Chris, that's what I want to know.
Bix, vees are great for smooth tarmac, but they have very limited travel in the suspension department. I was looking at building a tube chassis single
seater. As it turns out, a few mates from the club have already started one, I might buy that instead. Probably get a basic 1641 or a 1916 with a
turbo/blower, IRS rear and BJ front, so it should be quite good. Still need to hammer it out with the missus though.
