you might think ok thats fair enough in the event of a tyre failure we will allow a replacement. of course no driver would deliberately cut a tyre causing a failure would he?.

remember also your proposal has to be implemented, how are they marked can it be copied and therefor could an extra set could be counterfeited in?.

how long would it take to get 120 drivers tyres marked and when and by who?. 1 minutes a set to register driver and mark of on list, mark with whatever, allow to dry, 120 x 1min=2 hours. if your last in the queue you just missed round one!.

don't get me wrong if you the racers want something then we the organisers will try to do it. however just voting on a simplistic proposal such as the one suggested is pointless.

for example i propose we run five rounds of qualifying instead of four. i will propose it at the agm get someone to second it. i am sure if we put it to the vote we could get a yes vote. unfortunately we cant implement it because it gets dark before we finish!!. now there are ways round it. start round one earlier?, ensure all clubs have floodlights?, cancel the lower finals?.

your tyre proposal comes under the same set of problems, yes we could have one but it isn't simple and will take a lot of effort in ensuring a system that works and is robust enough not to cause problems later on.

so propose away but make sure it is a detailed proposal that covers all the bases

Well said ref
