Is 6A class for 8 valve and a limited capacity? Interested to know as it would be great to bring my X19 over to NI at some point.
Looks like you had a cracking day with a good result.
I think I have solved the issue of finding good quality bearings for the gearbox as SKF have a motorsport race department that are very helpful.

Class 6a Production Modified is 2 valve per cylinder, no upper capacity limit.
There are catch-all classes if really stuck.
All of our hills have their own character, all championship events are on closed public roads
One way or another we need to get 2 or more X1/9s to a hill.
Travel funds for me have taken a hit this year but I am hopeful for 2017.
My wife has family near to Scarborough which would make Olivers Mount my most likely mainland venue.

Olivers Mount looks like an excellent track, tight and twisty is best! The NI 6A Mod Prod class would be a challenge for me as I keep my engine capacity under 1.4L, however, there's nothing like a challenge.
