Hi Guys, I can now see why Kayce isn't keen on foams, he has a tyre sponsor and could possibly be using additive because he believes he can get away with it. Of course I joking about that but I can't understand why people think its not an issue with rubber but would be with foam.
Come on guys lets keep this sensible. As DCM says 12th true tyres for reason that don't apply to us, as did touring cars. But we need the harder compound and for that reason we have no need of truing them and in fact it would be a disadvantage. If anyone had a truer in the corner making alot of mess I'm sure a stern word would be had.
As for the next issue, the Batley members having to buy one set of foams, or lets assume they puch the boat out and buy two for the crazy money of £14.
I'm sure they have to buy tyres at some point, they aren't going to buy one set of mini's and expect them to last all year are they?
Tom asked about why not run Blues or full spikes, because they aren't fast. Simple, they last but are slow. So why not have fast and last? Simon will confirm but I think he said he lost 1mm on the outside diameter, so 0.5mm over the course of the day at round 1. But I can see this isn't idea isn't popular so as I've already said, what was I thinking?
Steve I can see you don't want people to discuss this but I can't really understand why? It doesn't put any bad light on the club and if fact, we are all in agreement, its a fantastic series run by a great club. At the end of the day its just a discussion, that I hoped was to be constructive. Your statement is simple and to the fact as a statement should be, just be nice to get some of the reasoning behind it and a view why the VBC's shouldn't be allowed. Again I think they'll be fast at Chadderton and being designed for indoor or tarmac, they should give a really good life span. Oh and they are made out of that stuff you guys all love buying, Rubber!
