If we want to stop arguments about tyres, go to control tyres next year. My personal view is the opposite. Yes Nationals are tightly controlled formal affairswith strict tyre rules, but they are meant to find the Country's best driver; some of the top guys would have the capability to gain an advantage big time otherwise! In the regions let's have a bit more fun and be more flexible and creative. I would however say that any tyre used should be commercially available in the UK at the time of the event. Then it is fair for everyone. But I'm happy whatever the outcome - the lads just love to race.
And, while we are having friendly banter, Luke and Josh loved getting full of mud and even went marshalling those who wanted to Bash round the track whilst we were all packing up! They were looking forward to racing on more grass tracks - especially when it' raining. They have now changed there mind because I've told them to clean their cars. Luke's in the "it's not fair" mode because he has two cars to clean. Little Josh (8 y o) missunderstood the word "clean" and interpreted it as "full and very complete dismantle!" At 8 he can totally strip down a car but not rebuild it. Luke refuses to do it, so it's another couple of night's work for me.
