Rally asked me a question, and a valid one, in the other thread.
When I didn't want to buy tyres every week for Ribble, what did I do at the events I did race at?
The answer is I bought tyres. However, I see a difference in buying tyres to race at Chadderton and Worksop which are large, monthly events and buying a set of tyres every week at Ribble just to stay competitive with your mates.
On the other weeks I raced 8th Nitro at either of the three great tracks we've got fairly locally or at the regionals. At these events I hardly ever bought tyres. It sounds daft but 8th cars will get 3 - 4 meeting out of a set of mini spikes. If its really warm and dry, we'll run pins and get 2 - 3 meetings. Granted they cost £11 a pair rather than £7-8.
I've said this to a few people, I think Nitro, once you've bought into it, is cheaper to run week in week out than 10th. I'm sure they think I've been sniffing the fumes though
.
Getting back to topic, Rally made a great last comment that I fully support. Any changes must suit the majority. We all need to consider that and not propose change thinking only from our own view point.
I'm happy to concede I could be wrong, I don't think I am because look at the success the club is enjoying. But the AGM results will tell us either way.
