The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Hi,

I aiming to compete in the Tour of Cheshire in March next year. I've been trying to decipher the regulations in the Blue Book for historic road rallying. Could anyone provide me with a comprehensive list of any modifications to the car required to compete in historic road rallies, including stickers etc. Also, a Dolly Sprint was rallied in the ToC this year. Anyone know if he's on here? I would be very grateful if contact details could be provided if he is.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Adam

I looked into this and got the impression that the Rally was fully Booked?

Hi,

John: I was marshalling this year as well, at the beeston test, great fun, and yeah that guy was going for it!!

Janette: Don't know the reg of the sprint sorry. I'll get the details of ToC pm'ed in.

Alolympic: Entries for the ToC 2012 open in the new year

I have attended the TOC for the last few years and really enjoy the day, took my Dolly two years ago and hopefully will be there again this year. I run my dolly (1850) as standard with added safety of fire extinguisher and 4point harness seat belts. Not sure on the rules about stickers though, best ask the TOC team.

with regards to trip meters, i'm pretty sure ones that read your current average speed are prohibited (Brantz 2S Pro), only accurate distance measuring ones are allowed (eg Brantz 2 Pro or the retro one), but i see both types on the rallies, depends whether you consider yourself as needing extra help or you want to try do it "old school" style.

Warning triangle and no petrol cans in the boot.

Hope that helps,

James

Thanks for the info James, hope to see you there this year.

Adam

Further thought on stickers, car "race" numbers other than those for the purposes of the rally itself are prohibited I think as well. But again, check with the TOC team.

You signed on?

Yeah, I am, are you?

Theres a dolly sprint (Mark and Stuart). Is that you?

I've just spotted you James, in a white 1850?

White 1850 is me, see you there. any questions regarding maps or stuff, I might be able to help.

How did you find it?

I was hoping to try and catch you at the end and get the three dolly's parked next to eachother for a red white and blue photo but missed the chance.

It was great fun, we thoroughly enjoyed the day!! We also finished, which was a surprise, although even more surprisingly we gained ten places! Loved the whole event, and we're now looking to try some smaller 12 car rallies with KDMC, before attempting the Vale of Clwyd Rally in September. We did quite well in the regularities, coming 43rd in one, but we went the wrong way on few of the tests and ended up with maximum points. Some practice at what looping and circling is obviously needed!!

How did you get on?
