Arenax rnd 2
Ok Round 2 on the 11th December
As every one was telling us and we ourselves noticed that the tyre wear was high with the dboots we have modified the track with some prima gt carpet to cover most of the hession. We did tests on both A compound and B compound tyres, A compound would last 3 rounds untill giving up grip and times did start to suffer these were tested by leon B compound Carter did practice, 5 rounds, and 20 minute run at the end and the tyres had still had plenty of grip, looked warn but plenty of grip, no real loss in time. Dboots originaly did there testing with both the blue carpet and Bearing Breaker Green the tyres then, where very good. Due to the green carpet not fluffing up and knackering bearing, we had to lift and use the hession which was not tested, A mistake on our part. This is why we have tested the new carpet and tyres to make sure it will work and cost is kept to a minimal on tyres. We Have decided to for rnd 2 to offer the b compound tyre at £6 Ben |

If the wear has improved due to the new carpet then I'm all over Sunday!
Very pleasing to find a club that use criticism positively. Top job guys! |

After testing last week it appears the B compound tyre is better as it still grips when worn. As Ben as said above the track layout is still the same, and may or may not change before Sunday |

I think it was said elsewhere that it would be easier for booking if you could book online and then bail out of paying via PayPal and pay on the day.
There are one or two power sockets but strictly speaking you need to bring a 12v. Tyres are available on the day. There are two model shops, neither of which look to stock Durango bits (correct me if I'm wrong). HTH |

12v only please it's not an issue, (the mains electrics are ) please make sure you have it in a container... just in case. Doors open at 7am, first heat on the line for 10am, so 8am is fine. Pre-book is preferable as it makes all our lives easier and speeds the job up, if PayPal gives you an issue let me know and I will confirm your entry manually. Tyres are available on the day, and last but not least there will be NO shop at this round. Cheers Chris |

We may try running the heater near the pits.
Although it does depend on the overnight/outdoor temperature if we get the condensation or not. There's nothing worse than indoor rain !! |
