can't see in rules where it allows stb 5 digit clocks or junior 12 micro ??? i'm looking at 2009 rules and the 3/12/10 rules review in bhw.

 

my clock is a five digit so it would be handy...but can't see it

You'll find it under Appendix D of the 2010 rule book (Page 21) http://www.rpra.org/...b7HpQ=&tabid=88

I can only presume clocks with 4 digits or less.

 

pm John at Formula1 lofts, think he'll know the answer.

A word of caution, this year on more than one occasion at clock checking a rubber that has been timed into a STB (as well as a Benzing) without a thimble has been dragged out of the relevant box chamber by the carriage doings. I would advise you to always use a thimble on your first timing. Better to be safe than sorry.
