The 2.0 Hot Rod rules posted on our website on December 19th have now been amended to reflect a change within the rules governing shock absorbers.

The additional rule has been implemented due to Quantum shock absorbers now being outwith the price range contained within the rules - please see point f below:

Shock Absorbers (Front & Rear)
a) A total of four shock absorbers may be used, one per corner.
b) Adjustable type may be used.
c) Adjustable spring platform may be fitted.
d) Any readily available shock absorber with a purchase price not exceeding £115 + VAT may be used. There will be, however, provision for any licensed 2 Litre Hot Rod Driver to purchase the shock absorbers from a fellow competitor's car for a price of £152.75 including VAT per unit.
e) Shock absorbers must be as from the manufacturer, ie; Gaz shocker must remain with Gaz components incl oil, No interchanging of parts or oil.
f) Quantum shock absorbers will be banned from January 1st 2013 as they are now outside of the price range. This date has been chosen to give drivers a 12 month run-out period.
