hi.....im after people opinions regarding running buggys on carpet.....
do buggys running minipins damage the prima racing carpet in anyway?? some off the touring car guys are moaning at our local club saying that they have suffered a loss off grip since we started running buggys there. they say its fluffing the pile up on the carpet......would that be the case? any info and previous experiences would be great!! thanks.

What tyres do they use, and do they run addative?
as i have heard of probs if they use slick/foam tyres with addative, as mini pins are more agressive and can change the lay of the pile ![]()

there moaning because they dont want you to race buggies there basiclly!
because your all using new mini pins it will rough the carpet up but shouldnt effect then really if there using similar tyres,fair enough they run them till there dead but thats there fault for been tight and not buying new tyres. p.s you wont damage the carpet any more then they are using mini pins

pins line the nap up on the carpet, so if you are racing any form of slick tyre, you have a massive loss in grip. We ended up using foams and additive to overcome the lack of grip and banned pins.

yea we used to run mini pins on buggys we changed to foams well some us have due to cost of mini pins foams last a hell of alot longer mini pins last a couple of weeks for club use its dear it does affect the carpet we have tourers and f1s their and it affects their grip levels

we use these. ^ Takes a bit of doing. I strip the inner ribs of regular wheels and mount the tires Mardave style. one tire will do two wheels. (I expect someone will tell you a better way of doing it) |

ive heard some say they use thin double sided tape and that works well....
