Indoor Series?

[Donutt]

I think if we're still discussing this only a week or two before the first event, its a bit too rushed for my liking.

I don't mind the idea of running OR cars at the Carpet Champs - it'll let the other formats see OR cars running, but I was kinda hoping it would be a format and rule set similar to regular OR indoors.

I am hoping the circuit would be designed with both OR & circuit in mind - the carpet track being standard, and the OR cars running on remaining un-carpeted parts of the hall, crossing or jumping sections of the carpeted circuit track to avoid altering the nap or additive level of the circuit track.

To protect the regular circuit carpet, sections of old carpet, ply or board could be laid over corners/straights to help the OR cars cross over, and then lifted again for circuit car races.

I said the dirt hawgs are carpet-kind, but they do grip and they'll clean it up very well (removing laid-down additive or fluffing the pile up). Mini-spikes will clean or maybe even tear the circuit carpet.

Running OR cars on the same track as the circuit cars, WILL give a different carpet experience for the circuit cars. Plus it'll be nothing like running OR indoors. I think it may end up as a poor compromise for both styles.

I would love to see a cross-over event; everyone running both styles but I don't want to see what is one of the best indoor carpet racing series, being compromised. It should be considered carefully and well planned, otherwise I think both styles may suffer.
