looking forward to your next meeting  |
I ran Ballistic Buggy green mini-spikes in the moring when there was a bit of dampness to the grass, changed to Schumacher yellow mini spikes about noon.
The BBs were a little more forgiving in the soft dirt areas than the yellows but if you modified your line to stay on the packed dirt then the yellows were easier to drive everywhere else.
For regionals in general I would suggest having the following glued up at all times if you can
1)A full set of new (i.e. still sharp edges to the spikes) Yellow mini spikes and BB green mini spikes.
2)A set of each of the the above with the outer row of spikes removed front and rear (can be mixed and matched with the above obviously)
3) A set of each both 1) & 2) with some wear on the spikes (rounded edges) .... obviously 1) & 2) become 3) after a couple of meetings!
4) A set of Schumacher green mini spikes
If you can get to that point you should be able to turn up and get straight on with your days racing.
