Tape - can we get some sticky stuff please?
Guys, since we started racing after Christmas, the tape has been coming up every evening at various points round the track. Last Friday this happened in 3 of my 4 races, which is pretty poor for a club such as ours, and caused at least 2 people to pull out of their races in my heat during the evening. It's just becoming a lottery whose race will be disrupted next.
I understand that it's a bit cheaper than the "good" stuff, but at the end of the day surely it's the quality of racing that should take priority? Can I ask the Committee to consider getting rid of the cheap tape and reverting back to the original sticky stuff so that we can all enjoy quality racing again? Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?

Have to agree with the tape issue here, on Saturday Natalie was on for a great run in her final, lying a clear 4th place with just over a minute to go some tape came up, caught around her car which made it spin out stopping her from driving straight. By the time a marshal could untangle it she had lost a lap & ended up 9th, a real shame this happened due to a bit of tape. So not just on road this can happen to.
Still a great event though, well done to all involved, looking forward to the next round Barry |

I do see us going back to the other tape but i think some of this weekend was due to a car on friday eve with very low ground clearance and a screw head not fully tightened.
I noticed on some straight sections that there was some perfectly sliced tape in the direction off the track. ride height: Off road: not really applicable but 5mm+ Outlaw: 5mm+ except pan cars 4mm+ GT12: 3mm+ (4mm+ prefared) Mini: 5mm+ all screw heads must not protrude from chassis.
