Experiments with Control Tyres...

[bedsrcmcc]

As you all know, we shall be using a control tyre during our Championships and although the narrow minipins worked well for most in the Autumn Championships just finished, there is concern that they get eaten up very quickly and have a very narrow window of performance.

I personally was seeing that they took 2 weeks to bed in and then were dead after 3 more meetings! Not good having to keep buying tyres

So we are all trying different tyres and I would like to thank Chris for lending me some of the Schumacher Rally Block (yellow) tyres tonight. WOW they were grippy from the start

Ok the track tonight is not a great indicator being an oval, but I'm going to buy some at the weekend (Russell get them on order please ) and will run them every week now in anger to see how well they hold up.

It would be good to stick with Schumacher as we get the goodies for the raffle. We'll also look at just controlling tyres and inserts, allowing members to choose their own rims as we have had a few issues with rims not fitting correctly on some cars.

So it will be interesting to see what others thinks of these Rally Block tyres, I think they should hold up better than the mini-pins - your feedback will be very much appreciated over the next few weeks so we can confirm a control tyre for our Winter Championships that starts on Friday 22 January 2010.
