What kind of costs is this?
I’d be tempted to do a couple even if just for the laff of it all
I’d need the cage, leccy cut off and fire ex installed… And wouldn’t be competeive without slicks and decent suspenion (can’t see the LSS being upt the job )

I’ll not go into the costs - no doubt Russ will though! Unless things have changed from last year, only Yoko tyres (non slick) were allowed. Yoko did of course sponsor the series, & I don’t know if they are again this year, so the tyre regs may be different.
