Hi spennyy2k
We addressed this when you first mentioned this on here. We told all racers that they had to run these covers.
In reply to why foams allow onroad racers, we have design a quite clever design which allows to have many off road features in the layout including a large table top, a wall of death (that the onroad will cars take a different route to avoid, and various other jumps that marshals can place on before the buggy heats. This takes almost no effort.
The reason that foams allow onroad is because, if you try and run mini pins on carpet, it basically ruins the carpet, seen by the massive piles of fluff left at the side of the track. If you try and run an on road car on this, there is no grip, however if mini pins are taken off, the grip then builds up very fast for not just the buggys, but gt12 classes, touring cars, and 1/12 on road cars.
This allows everyone to be able to race.
The other reason that running the club in this way where it caters for solely buggys on mini pins (the only cars that have grip under there own conditions) is that sadly we have not been getting the levels of racers supporting the club that it requires to keep the club growing, turning up with these mini pin tires on.
I hope this helps you understand the reason we are considering a re-think. This decision is not yet final, we will update you when further decisions have been made.
Thanks
