The event is a championship round of the
Association of Classic Trials Clubs(ACTC) and the Associocition of South
Western Motor Clubs. The event consists of approx 14 obsevred sections linked
in a route of 80 miles using the public highway.
The event is scored by markers at the side of the section from 12 to 1 at the top, marks are scored by getting the front wheels past the marker. The competitor with the lowest score will be the winner. To make things more difficult on some sections a restart may be included for some classes, where the competitor is required to stop and restart. And time tests are used to in the event of a tie. |
