Or we could just have a open tyre choice and use whatever we like.

I agree with Kayce, we are likely to follow the quickest option but in that given example we have all only bought 3 sets of tyres at less than the cost of rubber tyres.

What could happen now is someone turn up with 6 new sets and run a new set every run. I doubt this would happen but it could and if its was faster where would that leave us? Worksop have a control tyre but they don't limit the amount of sets used.

Foams where a great cheap idea and they've been banned without any consultation with the racers. I'm sure if a vote where to be had at the next round it would be very close. But leaving that aside, then to say they have to be spiked tyres to effectively ban the VBC rubber tyres, looks to me like we are being steered by commerical forces rather than looking after the racers and thats upsetting.

Damo on the point of additive, why don't you use rubber tyre additive on your mini pins, because its banned. We could easily keep that ban and enforcing it would be easy. By the way I too thought the track was really good, thanks very much for the effort and that goes to the club to. Its a really good event that I really enjoyed but I really can't understand this decision. If you like rubber and are happy with them, run rubber, if like me your tighter than cramp and want to save money, lets try foam. Each to there own.
