Weird Works Shock.

[firko]

Firko try a Hi-low speed shock (G 362TRW ) and you will know the difference........ 

I don't doubt it Walter but how well a shock works is irrelevant to the rulebook. The only grey area is the interpretation of the reservoirs position on the shock but in reality it's not much of a problem. Except for shock travel situations and Drakey's attempt to disqualify Roy Gay for his piggyback Ohlins at Barrabool 20 years ago, I can't recall very much foo foo raw over shocks in pre 75. It's another example of a badly written and poorly thought out rulebook paragraph that has never really become a problem. If we really wanted to tighten the shock absorber rule, perhaps banning external dampening adjustment* would be more relevant than banning a shock because it has a reservoir...(I don't particularly want that introduced either...I'm just playing good/bad cop)

* and then we have the situation of Arnaco shocks having an 8 way external dampening adjustment, and stacked shim operation in 1973.
