I am really looking forward to this event now. Where is everybody staying?
Haha!!! Class act. Yup a portrait of my mother in law, but could pass for anyone elses.

no problem at all with tyres rog, 2 sets absolute max, you could probably get away with 1 set the speed you go round

LOL ... is that low tire wear because your wheels are always off the bround 'big-air'

Cheers, so 2 sets per car so 4 sets in total ... ok, I think I have 2 new sets and 2 sets with only 1 or 2 runs on in the box which would be fine for practice / working out where is the most spectacular to crash

Cool ... quick chat to the boss then I'll be booking in!

tyres dont need to be scrubbed as there was a lot of carpet last year, you just dont need a new set every run or 2 or anything similair

Now running a B4 in 2WD and will be ordering various tyres shortly.. Thankfully we running mini pins in the wet at Titchfield so they'll get used.

I assume ballistic buggy mini pins will be too much grip.

Not really, they'll just be crap and wear out really quick.

I'm sure I used 1 set all day in 2wd last year (not making the A) and 2 sets in 4wd where I did make the A(s).

Cheers,

I'll be doing an order for mini pins fairly soon.. Prob go for two sets for both classes just in case. I'll use them elsewhere anyway.

To save costs I may get the pre glued combo from Schumacher for the Cat SX, but not sure if the foams are right

Going to get some Jconcepts wheels for the B4
