My reason for going racing is to control a car on a slippy surface and control the slides and test my skill at that against the other drivers.
Foams are for touring cars on flat tracks as you noted in your original comments.
In the end the club has made a decision, nobody has complained about running normal off road tyres for the previous three years at Chadderton so I don't see why it would be different now?

Yup
and yet this seems to be an argument that's brewed up every year at this time of year when everyone moves indoors for the winter.
And the problem with any of the "arguments" is that first some guy comes along and suggests his cheap foam way is the best.
So everybody has to run out and buy foams they don't have, to copy what the first guy did.
Then another guy comes along and he finds a better way, that probably costs more, and the first guy whines.
Then yet another guy comes along and his way trumps everyone elses, he starts winning races, and everyone else starts using that method (while the first two guys are still whining) - and everyone else realizes they made an outlay for three sets of tires (each one faster than the last) and it never ends.
And you've got Tyre Wars.
Meanwhile if everyone's running rubbers, tires they all have access to, it ends up being cheaper for everyone over the long run.
