I think Chris is correct, if you want to use a higher motor that's should be your choice and you accept higher tyre wear, I personally use a 10.5 with a little boost and it's just as quick around the track as a 6.5 and quicker through the turns due to less torque and easier to drive ...... As for the carpet it's as grippy as you want it to be in my opinion, if you want high grip use new tyres or adjust your driving style as the grip gets less due to worn tyres, it's like all kinds of Motorsport if you have funds a plenty available to you and can afford new tyres every night you will have an advantage over someone who runs a slightly tighter budget, I personally feel putting restrictions on what people can and can't run will take the fun away and make the night too strict, where do we go next ????, stop people racing who only has 4wd because they have an advantage over 2wd, I think we have a club that's very relaxed and that everyone enjoys the banter and the competition of chasing the faster more experienced guys

As we all know many clubs find it hard to get the numbers to keep the clubs running successfully and we at seaham are very lucky to have the numbers and new racers joining regularly, let's not scare people away with rules, after all it's a club night not a competition so let's all just have fun and enjoy our hobby

But at the end of the day I will follow whatever rules are enforced by the club !!!! 🚗🚗🚗
