Rob,
How come you don't allow foams? Only curious as it seems to be gaining popularity at our club.

Maybe it's because of the fact they break up and leave black crud everywhere, the additive that's used leaves horrible black streaks on our nice new primafelt carpet....rubber tyres don't do that!

Half our track is astro turf so not sure foams will work that well. Plus want to keep the off nature.

At the club I race at we have carpet tiles and bits of old carpet trackside to blitz any excess additive but don't pins tear at the pile?

Agreed probably not great on astro but as we race on carpet they seem to be proving very popular.
