I'm taking a survey on what PSI others run their trials tires at.  I'm
mostly wondering minimum Pressure on the rear tire for competition.  I
was told as low as 6 PSI on a 100cc vintage bike.  Thanks.

On my ex  GG JTX270, I ran 5 in the front and 3 in the rear.

I ran 5 front & rear on my Montessa. At an event last season, I was
having trouble with rear traction in a section with a thin layer of
greasy mud on the surface. The person working the section suggested
that it looked like I had too much pressure in the tire based on the
way it looked. I dropped to 4 psi and noticed a significant change for
the better in traction.

Of course, variation in gauges means that none of these numbers mean
much.
