Hi,

I've just got myself a B4 and looking for places to race. Would love to come down this weekend but wanted to check a few details.

Is it OK for relative beginners (I haven't raced off road for almost 10 years) to join in a winter series round?

I noticed you have a control tyre for the rear, but can you recommend me something suitable for the front?

Do you have any other particular rules which I should be aware of?

Many Thanks.

Schumacher green slim minispikes if it's wet or yellow slim minispikes in the dry. Or you could try the Schumacher staggered rib in yellow but i'm sure this weekend will be greasy at best so it should be the mini's :thumbsup:

Thanks Alec. So you think a set of Green mini spikes all round would be the safest bet?

Dunc 15-12-2009 03:35 PM

That's correct. The majority run mini-spikes front and back (in green or yellow compound).

Don't worry if you're not very experienced - everyone is welcome.

Looks like the thermal undies need to worn for the day.

Be a good idea to put something on over the top as well though ........... if not for your benefit, think of us LOL :woot:

I was going to wear mine superman style, on the outside of my clothes.

Might make everyone laugh and crash, whilst I take 1st place above Simon LOL:thumbsup:

One more question for you helpful guys...

I can't seem to get hold of a full set of wheels and tyres for my B4 in time for this event, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that there will be a trackside shop. Is this true and if so I presume they will have plenty of stock of the right wheels/tyres?

Oh and one more thing, I haven't got round to booking in yet due to the lack of control tyres. Is this going to be a problem if I turn up on the day? or should I get my entry in now?

I would definately book in now, as this makes things easier on the day and the last one was full so wouldn't want to disapoint.

Wheels, The Raceplace is normaly their so shouldn't be a problem.
