So because he didn't, you're saying others wouldn't?

That's in fact what happens, in any foam-tyre class.

I would, and I suggest I could do it an nobody could catch me.

Somebody would, maybe after one run, and it would piss them off and it might chase them off.

If you're saying they don't, then is shows a lack of experience with foams.

Of course not, that would be the corner of the hall where I'd have my tyre-truing machine.

Because for everyone that runs foam-tyred cars KNOWS you should have a minimum of one set per run on hand, even just in case you chunk a tire, and different compounds available dependent on the ambient temp and to adjust as the traction comes up and the racing line rubbers in. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure everyone that runs rubbers says the same tyres they arrived at the track with last week are the same ones they'll be running next week and the week after and the week after that and the week after that...
Again andy110m - why should all the Batley members feel forced to buy foam tyres because of one guy going against the norm, when they've already invested in rubbers that meet the rules set aside for the season?
