ive found schumacher medium tyre inserts work well. They're £1.89 a pair from rc-direct. Or you can go see charlie at whitburn hobbies. He usually does inserts cheaper...
http://www.rc-direct.co.uk/rubber-ty...67&sort=2a Ive already got my full spikes ready. Not sure if am racing on tues though...

Jimmi - you should be able to get full spikes at most model shops, or online from Schumacher.
2.2 inch yellow full spikes. It all depends on how the track is laid out - like Neil said, if you've got carpet down, minispikes will be better, but on the slippy floor, I find worn full spikes work better than worn minispikes. New minispikes are good as are new mini pins., but expensive to run. Soon at the club, I think we'll be carpeting the straight, which reduces the effect of full spike. I would hapilly run full spikes as a control tyre but I dont think we should force it on people. I dont see how a control tyre would make the racing any closer, all tyres seem capable of the same level of pace around the track. You would still get the difference in grip levels from different wear levels of the tyres. Personally, I'll probably be sticking with full spikes for now.

Ive got both T/Park and Mortimerr preliminarily booked. I have spoken to Bill and Simon, we think T/Park is better as we get a good rostrum, good exposure for the public, a canteen, but slightly smaller track and nearly twice the price.
So I think it'll be Temple Park, unless you have any other input re: mortimer - I do think the track could be massive there, but T/Park is big enough. Can you get something from Nissan to pull the trailer? Ive never seen a thread go off on a tangent so much! Going home from work now, so phone me if you want (phone's nearly dead like, so Ill charge it when I get in). Off Oople now!

Does exposure to the public include getting cars broken into...??? I would go with the cheapest, make as much profit for the club to enable more events in the future. If there's another advert in the gazette i think the public would turn up...
