I also have a set of new mini spike-2's. These haven;t been mounted yet. Should I cut the inside row of spikes off these too?

What about the fronts? I have schumy yellows and greens. should I just leave them alone, run them in practise, and change things as required?

Has anybody got any other tips?

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Chris, it will come down to it on the day to be honest.

DRY DAY
The grass will likely be 'slimey' early on with morning dew etc so I would run greens in practise. If it is a dry day from the start then it will be yellows.

As Ash as said we haven't been there as a region so we don't know how gripy the grass will be but I would imagine that at least the Outer rows will be coming off the tyres


WET DAY
Run greens all day - simple!



And also to add, outdoor racing is 100% better than indoor racing so don't worry with a bit of rain, all adds to the fun!!
