There were no complaints when I was running my X6 the winter before when I was finishing in the top 3, it's only now that I am as quick as the very top people it has become such as issue.
In terms of making cars with foams slower, I am not sure how. You would do this. As banning additive wouldn't make a big difference with the mardaves still using it, so the track will still give plenty of grip. Making a course that has more lumps and jumps? We do the at South Lakes and it doesn't slow them down at all.
I simply refuse to my mini pins due to the cost implication as to be really competitive I would go through a set every few meetings at after buying tyres, wheels and inserts you are getting up to £30.
Not sure what the answer is to the tyre situation, but these are my views for what they are worth on the subject.

I dont think there is going to be anything done about running them as its better for the wood floor if they come off the track.
the only thing that is going to happen is everyone will use them so you will loose your advantage as I could do two laps more in a race with them compared to mini pins and its great for us because it will save a fortune on tyres
