Hi all, when we are taking part in events held under a NORA permit, then we have to comply with an amended version of the CKGB Handbook.  It is essentially the same, but has some additional detail.  For instance the NORA version quotes the standards that the helmets must conform to.  I just want to check that everyone has a helmet conforming to one of these standards (it should be labelled somewhere on the helmet).  The standards and wording in the NRA document is as follows:

14.Helmets
Helmets bearing any one of the under mentioned “standard” marks could be approved by NORA if deemed to
conform with certain additional criteria considered necessary for helmets used in motorsport.
British Standards Institution BS 6658-A
British Standards Institution BS 6658-B
UN ECE Regulation 22 ECE 22-06
Snell Memorial Foundation Snell M2015 (M2010 accepted if stamp within a three year period)
For 4x4 speed events (excluding SXS, UTV)
Snell SA2015, SAH2010 or SA2020
FIA 8860-2010 or 8859-2015

Please can I ask you to respond whether with a post saying whether your helmet complies or not?  If it does not comply, please confirm it is a proprietary helmet for motorcycling or motor-sport, plus whatever standard it is complying to?  f require, we can then seek to amend the NORA regulation.

UPDATE 11/3/24:  NORA have just approved our regs for events running under a NORA permit and have accepted our proposed amendment to their helmet regulations.  Our regs now relate to the current requirement for helmets used by motorcycles on the public highway, which in one way or another includes the helmets the majority of us are using.

Hi Dunworkin, pity you cant make the AGM, please be mindful that the shakedown session is limited in time, so those with cyclekarts may be pre-occupied with sorting out issues on their karts.  However, there will be other members without karts, so lots of people to talk to.

Thanks Chris, yes that was one of the names 
I have amended the list in the header post accordingly.

So as of yesterday GNasher is now completed and running 
Consequently, I have attached a precis of the build.

Not long now till the AGM and Whilton Mill shakedown session 

I have added the following to the heading post of this topic:

OK as of 17:00 4/3/24, we have 10 cyclekarts registered and 8 paid.  The Whilton marshal may put a maximum limit of 8 cyclekarts at a time on the track, which shouldn't significantly impact our time on track.
There will be several new cyclekarts, and these should be unloaded and ready to go on the track as soon as our session starts.  They should complete just a few laps then come in for a thorough check for leaks and loose fittings.  The other cyclekarts can then take to the track and the new ones can join them once their checks are complete.  The last thing we want is to lose time due to oil leaks on the track, or other incidents which may delay proceedings.  If we are limited to a maximum of 8 cyclekarts on track, then 2 will be in the pits.  So if your circulating round the track, keep an eye out for someone at the end of the pit lane waiting to go out.  If you have been circulating a reasonable amount of time pull into the pits on the next lap and let someone else have some fun.

Hi Chris, the show finishes on the Sunday and has to be vacated.  However, I believe the campsite runs as a proper campsite, so you can probably arrange direct with the campsite to stay extra nights.  If you go on Google Maps, the campsite has a name you can click on and hopefully find the contact details.

Hi Lupin, Friday is set-up day only but access is from 10:00. 

Yes you can leave your trailer and CK with us on-site, but you will have to come to some arrangement with the show organisers on the Friday regards your cost of entry each day.  Show entry fees are detailed in the header post for this topic, and the "Driver" gets in free, but passengers pay a fee.  However, you wont have your CK with you when you enter on Saturday or Sunday, so the people on the gate will want to charge you the general public rate!  Anyhow, I am sure we can arrange something with the show organisers on the Friday, pay on the Friday and then have the wrist bands to get in on the Saturday and Sunday.

Hi all, heres a quick update on this event.

There will now be a marquee in addition the main exhibition hall for the show.  The marquee is being managed by Complete Kit Car magazine, and will feature a history of kit car building with lots of classic kit cars.  The magazine sees Cyclekarts as a future trend in kit car building, so they would also like to have a CKGB display in the marquee as well.  Therefore, this event now becomes more interesting for those of you who have part built cyclekarts.  The public would love to see your efforts, so if you would like to display your part-built cyclekarts, please post on this topic with what you would like to bring along and whether for the whole weekend or just one of the days.  The club can then collate its display.  We will also be displaying the completed cyclekarts a few at a time throughout the weekend.
