Tires are a tricky one, the safe bet would be Dry: Schmacher Yellow Mini Spikes, if you want less steering you could try a stagger rib on the front also in yellow. Wet: Ballistic Buggy Spikes in Green on the rear and Schumacher Green mini spikes on the front. I'm also liking the Dboots Multibyte at the moment which seems to work well on most surfaces in most conditions from dry dusty grass to soaking astro. Although from memory I don't think they were as good as a ballistic green on wet grass. Feel free to come and ask on Sunday if you're unsure.

That's what I was thinking pretty much. I find the multibytes don't have the side bite on grass, but when the track is torn up they perform better, possibly, than schumachers. Probably start with ballistics, then see what the weather and 50+ cars do to the track The jumps astro/carpet covered I take it? |

The jumps were all dirt when I went. I think they had plans to do something with them.
I reckon you should try a wider and higher profile foam in the Dboots if you are suffering with sidebite Mr 'O' Racing make some great ones If it's wet I'd start with Ballisitics, if it's dry start with Schumacher Mini Spikes in Yellow compound. Ballistics in the dry dont give much grip as the spikes move about too much in my opinion and the flatter profile gives little sidebite.

Drivers can choose their position on the rostrum, based on their qualifying positions.

Some additional info....
Gates will be open from 8am if anyone wants to be there really early but it will be closed track. No practice will be allowed. We are aiming for Drivers Breifing at around 9:30am, With the first heat starting at 9:45am. As I mentioned before, there will be plenty of room on the Rostrum. The track has not changed much since the shakedown meeting. We have made some minor changes this evening and will be working on the track on Saturday prior to the meeting on Sunday... Photo below, Isnt great but gives you some idea of what it is like currently... Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Believe so, we ran a no practice policy at coastal to minimise the deteriation of the track in the conditions before the racing commenced, and so that the meeting could start quicker, and so that there is no fighting for space on the rostrum. Same for everyone then.

ok lay in and get there for 9.25am then.
So has the track had a heavy roll since the warmup meeting?

Shame there won't be any practice, lets hope I put that diff in the right way round!!!
I can understand wanting to get going though and then hopefully avoid the heavy showers.

Shame about the practice, but with the ammount of cars and with 6 rounds of racing, a good idea. 3 mins of heat order practice would be nice, with a quick changeover, it wouldn't take long.
Has anyone got any concerns (other than me) about the crossover T-bone possibilities? We run one at MERCC and it has a mesh bridge section, so quite safe really. |

I must say having driven the track I'm not sold on the cross over for more than one reason.
also I hope the double at the back has had some love. Looks just as when we raced on it, but more worn

mmmm
will my buggy run o.k if i put a condom over it.!!?(to keep it clean) (not insert... I know you were thinking it you pervert.)
How about if it rains, WE run instead of the buggys, Ill bring my wellies... The jump on the cross over was more like a plummit, there was no concave to give you lift last time, just a 45 deg. take off right on a corner. They may have shaped it better now but it looks the same in the photo.
