If you roll the legs up, probably! :lol: I'll take em to Blyton anyway if anyone wants to use em for Harewood. They are silver though so you might look like a Pocket Stig! :lol:

lots of spare nomex underwear to lend on the day, but sadly only one helmet and one pair of gloves and if we're running in the same class, we'll be unable to share

As long as it is securely bolted down it's OK.

This morning I have
Bolted down drivers seat
Secured battery
Fitted timing strut
Applied roundels to doors

Do they check for extra throttle return spring?
As my last visit to harewood house was with school in 1973. I was wondering how many goes do you get at the hill?
