I'm sure there will be another fastrax event in 2012, so I'll just put my tyres in a draw and leave it at that. One of life's little things.

I need some mini pins, so better order some up lol.

If people don't like it, cancel. I'm not fussed about the tyre change after reflecting over the weekend.

Indeed as much as I really enjoyed yesterday racing outside in the wet, I'm looking forward to racing in the warm and dry

Roll on MK GP.

Neil, put my £3 towards a decent charity, stroke, cancer or help the heroes is my pref.

However it is also true that for those who purchase tyres at retail prices the cost of attending the event has actually just increased by approximately £12. (The cost of a set of tyres minus £3)

Just an observation.
Plus your weekly repair bills (sorry Pip, couldnt resist!!!!! )

Thumbs up Interesting replies.

many thoughts.
Yes its still a decent price for a decent all day indoor event.
OK, we can moan about the control tyre but all on the same rubber means its about set up and driving the cars.
OK, if we coose the rubber we want/like then we are happier driving our buggies anyway!
Either way, the top drivers will be top, and the rest will follow, always has been and always will be.
So, lets be happy, give the little money there is left over to a decent charity and have a GREAT day/weekend Racing.

This is if you want it to be, a very cheap hobby, If you want to spend loads then you can as well.
Either one you do, its a great time had, great racing at all levels and where can you have a fun day out for £10 to £15.??? No where really(not including little misshaps of course)

So MK and Dudders, keep my £6 and give to the help for heroes if i can choose. or share it.

I am a great supporter of charities and they need the help.

Doing Movember tash growing for testicular/prostate cancer support, so if anyone wants to donate, look me on Facebook, or donate at

See you all at the MKGP with whatever "rubber" you fancy wearing for the day!!!!

Please put my £3 wherever you like, chaps.

Can I just commend all involved for making this decision which can't have been easy!! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however in mine you got this one right.

As Lee and others have stated earlier, people would be shocked at the costs involved in running a special meeting such as this one as I've no doubt it'll be one to remember!

MK team, if it wasn't for people like you then we wouldn't have anywhere to race so please just ignore any negativity (hard I know) and keep up the fantastic work you're all doing.

Really looking forward to this. Hopefully with new car, biscuits!!!

Not having raced on carpet since the last MK GP what is the prefered tyre of choice as there are some more alternatives to Schumacher yellows.
Dboots? compound and tread pattern?
Ballistic buggy? compound and tread pattern?
Schumacher? compound and tread pattern?

Wylie i have been advised ballistic whites.
But after Lee's performance on Sunday whatever he is running and let him drive as well!

As for control tyres one way or another it doesn't worry me i just want a relaxing weekend with some good banter

Good news about the tires.

Top Idea on the charity donation also. It is just a shame the smaller charities like Limb Care Don't get a look in as the Giants like help the heros seem to get the Lions share, although very worthy they get a vast amount of donatios where the smaller ones are left struggling.

Just my 2p worth and of course you can keep my £3 from both days.

You can run any of the above but as a starting point I would suggust shuy mini pins rear/front for 4wd and staggered ribs for front 2wd.
The DBoots and BB's maybe really good but not tried either on carpet so difficult to comment.
I know to some the change of tyre rule has been a pain and again we apoplogise BUT it was a an important move to ensure all drivers enjoy the weekend
