That would be me, John Jones and Gareth.
Sorry I couldn't make tonight I had to stay late at work. I really wanted to talk about this and sort it out.Hopefully Gareth hasn't been hammered to much LOL...
I've been reading all the post and thought I'd would chip in.
Both type of tyres have Pros and Cons and everyone's points are valid.
The mini pins are faster than foams but in my opinion only for two rounds when new. So by the end of the night foam will have more grip than used set of pins, so you may have an advantage in the final. Foams are cheaper to run and don't wear the carpet as much, which is good.
I did seen the wear on Rich's TM2 after he ran the venoms and it was bad, so I understand why some (including me) may be reluctant to use them.
So the question is, do foams give you an advantage over the mini pins?
The committee did discuss the use of foam over a month ago and did agree that if they became popular we would run them in the own heat. Not because people may starting beating others, but for the opposite reason. We thought that if they were slower than pins and if people wanted to run them due to cost issues they may have had a dis-advantage, so it would only fair for them to run in their own heat.
Everyone will have their own opinion to whether there is an advantage or not but I do agree with Gareth that if there are enough people running them, then they should run together. However this is a club and it wouldn't be here if everyone stop going because they weren't happy. I think the fairest way to solve this, unless its not already been sorted tonight, I will talk to Gareth and John and put a vote on oople where everyone can have their say. When the result are in we will run as per the majorities wishes.
Obviously I've not seen Gareth or John so I will post a 'vote' if they agree. Hopefully this will bring the issue to a close and the thread can get back on track.
