[QUOTE=rallymaddaz;835560]Andy,
Oh and for clarity I dont buy the foams are substantially cheeper arguement because as previously said they chunk, you need attitive - its more difficult for the youngsters as, you have to be in the know to be able to buy a set.

Really!!!! I have been back racing since this time last year and am on my SECOND set of foams! so thats a years racing for approx 30 quid!
If we are being picky add 8 quid for the additive. Still cheaper than pins any day of the week. And as far as being in the know to buy them I am sure that small company called shumacher racing may sell them. Also people are putting additive on rubber tyres so that cost will stay the same.
I am not trying to put down peoples opinion but the above comment just seems untrue.
Just to also clarify I havent trued up the foams before using them and for my first set didnt remove the belts from the wheel either. The club are also working on making foams more readily avaliable to club racers and I am sure the guy from ross models would be happy to sort people out with a set if asked.
Just a thought
I do understand why some people want to get rid of foams but I am not convinced it will make racing any better.
