One of the buggy boys was talking the other day saying how good minipins are - but I'm sure he said 'blue' rather than 'yellow' - but don't quote me!

The majority of the track has now been covered in green indoor bowling green astro/carpet/mat. Less abrasive than the coir matting.

The photo's really don't do the track justice.

Can anyone confirm what tyres for A1? Is there a control tyre?

And do we need to pre-book or is it just on the day?

Thanks guys

Hi Guys

The control tyre will be any Dboots tyre.

You can bookin on the day, but pre-book is, as always cheaper.

Web site all being well will be up later today with full details for the series.

The last round on April 17th 2012 is also now confirmed...

Cheers

OK, so we have got to use dBoots on any driven wheel.

Can anyone advise which tread/compound is working well for both 2wd and 4wd? And can tyres be bought on the day?

Thanks

Tyres can be bought on the day at a discount.

If you book online then you will receive a discount code so you can get your tyres before the day.

I'm sure one of the buggy drivers will be along shortly to confirm tread/compound.

Hi Toby,

When i went a couple of weeks ago i found the Terrabytes worked best but i think they might have changed the carpet since then. Hopefully Reg will let us know because he went last night.

does look as though there is a control tyre to the dboots tyres, should be tyres in stock on the day from the supporting shop or from the club, from what was said on tuesday it seems that the short course classes dont have control tyre as the dboots sct tyres arent available yet, but definetly a control tyre for the buggys, (not sure if only applied to driven wheels for the 2wd.s) best guy to ask is SPYRO (chris)

Lots of people have Mini pins already - unless the control tyres are heavily discounted, it seems an unnecessary additional expense to force people to run a particular tyre, especially when it is not something that most folk will have in their pit box already...

Most competitive racers would buy at least one set of tyres for a championship meeting at other series or regionals etc so it is only a case of buying a different type... they will be discounted as mentioned in a post above and everyone entering the championship is in the same situation.

failed argument and a myth that racers have an endless supply of brand new useable tyres in their pit box already or one set of life lasting yellow minipin tyres IMO

Don't get so defensive!! It looks like you guys have done a great job of setting the track up and all the feedback I have read has been very positive

It's your meeting and your rules. And you say dBoot control tyres. So dBoots it is - simples!

Tuesday club nights are definitely 'run what you've brung' - as long as it's safe of course.

No control tyres, open motor choice -as long as it's electric......
