James,
There is no way anyone crowbarring references to Lazers into every thread they reply to could be anyone other than you. I'm just waiting till you try to get somone to try your B2 indoor setup from 95 onto any other car
After reading Chris post above, I would think you are referring to the Losi foams of 10 years ago, not the ones now. Current soft tyres from Losi and Proline hardly hold their shape under their own weight, never mind that of the car so the foams are bigger and harder. A full rear Losi foam would super pack out a rear mini spike, you've only ever run on the middle section of the rounded tyre profile.
I think you'll be lucky to find any buggy racing in Wales (if that's where you still live) in the winter, so qualifying for the indoor finals is usually a formality, only Harris and Milzy come so they'll have 8 spare places. Equally, if they are up north, then hardly anyone from down south comes so again you won't have any issues.
The outdoor nationals are currently more popular than ever before, in part cos it's great, in part cos regional series are not what they once were in most parts of the country. I remember having to send my entry off the same day i got it in wales just to get a regional place. However the indoor finals don't have the draw they used to.
Good luck though, see you in March.
Dan
PS I look forward to disagreeing with you over loads of things on here now, just like old times
PPS Do you know Belsten made a come back at nationals a couple of years ago with Justin pitting for him. Didn't go too well unfortunatly and I've not seen him since.
