Default Clubs racing on grass?

Three of the 5 regional meetings in Wales are on grass (two are on carpet).

Most of my winter season involves racing on carpet, so I seem to be playing catch-up with setups by the time we get onto the proper green stuff. And although astro is great, it doesn't really evolve through the day like the real thing.

Are there any clubs in the south west or west midlands who regularly race on proper old school grass?

In Scotland all our regionals are on grass, which this season i think is 7?

What car do you run? If you want any advice on grass setups, fire me a pm.

Grass north of the border! Are you allowed to run full spikes?

I'm running a YZ-2 DT.

This was my setup last year on my KC.

As for a stand up box like you are running, you would usually go maybe one firmer on the rear spring and sometimes one softer on the front but oils, ride heights etc all stay the same.

At our latest meeting I went for a shorter rear link for a bit more traction but with a stand up car it would probably help the rotation too.

Thanks for sharing that mate - it looks like a good starting point I should be able to adapt
