Enjoyable day yesterday lads.

A concern regarding the track though is that many may not turn up to the next meeting as the large amount of polished floor will have been really tough for the young and less experienced racers so they will probably not have enjoyed the racing as much as the A-Finalists. In future i feel a predominantly carpet track would be a safer bet. The straight and sweepers are fine in slippy but technical areas should be carpet as it would reduce crashing and spinning out in these tight areas. I can't count how many times a car slid out in front of mine during qualifying.
While the track was good it suited u 6-7 experienced racers far more as we had the setup knowledge and soft thumbs to get around. While you say people want a change as they have been racing on high grip all year it seemed a little too much of a change in my opinion.
How much carpet do we have? Could we pretty much fill the hall minus slippery sections etc? Then lay the track on top? I know it may be a little more effort but I think it will keep people coming back if the bias of slippy and carpet goes on the carpet direction.
