open rule and have fun

[Maritime]

Hi all

Thank you if you have voted

Please keep vote if you have not already

For the record we was looking at a tyre rule just to keep the COST of racing down the last thing we wanted was a tyre war and driver feel there made to buy tyre just to keep up

So as said please keep voting but by the looks of things open is what the drivers want

No tyre rule
It matters not, even if you have a rule, generally those with newer tyres will do better, so those that need to win club meets generally still will because they will spend the cash on new rubber or additive or whatever.
Until that is someone rocks up and dominates because they're better
Simples, run what you brung, far less stress for the club too
Proof will be in the pudding, as soon as the next big meeting happens, the better drivers arrive, and dominate

Totally agree.

You could well find that worn tyres are better than new. Especially on the wooden wall of death. If that turns out to be the case then tyre costs are going to be cheap.

If new tyres are much quicker then maybe some sort of limit on tyres. Perhaps introduce a quick scrutineering upon book in. Ie, when I book in with a set of new tyres, the wheel is marked M1. The next week they are marked M2.

O n the back of that a rule stating that a new set of tyres are only allowed every 2 weeks, or one set a month for Tuesday nights.

For any Sunday meetings then one set per day.

Everyone would be in the same boat, and those with more funding would not have an advantage then. It would just be good fun racing.
