Reference Foam Tyres

During the first round of 2011/12 series it was brought to the club’s attention that foam tyres were being used at the meeting,

We have been asked to clarify our position on the use of foam tyres at future meetings.

After discussion between officials, the club has decided that the use of foam tyres will not be allowed at future meeting as there is no guarantee that additives would not be used if foam tyres became the favoured tyres as additives could potentially damage the floor., This would result in repair costs that the club could not afford.

As of round two only rubber style spike tyres will be allowed, (e.g. dboot, mini pins) as traditionally used at 1/10th off road meeting.

Please contact me via PM if any more information is required as we do not wish this matter to become a forum debate.
