Can't claim the pictures are mine, They are all taken by either Jim Balls or Richard Hamblin.

I will go through mine tonight and see if there are any good ones that are worth posting.

P.s. Championship results are up after Round 1

Hi, do you mean the next regional round or the next round at eastrax.?

I ran Ballistic Buggy green minispikes, i think they would do two meetings on astro, three at a push but theyre not as good on grass.

Schumacher Yellow Minispikes are good on both astro and grass and would prob wear a bit better than ballistics.

A good compromise would be Schumacher green minispikes, from an overall perspective traction at various venues vs wear, you could re-use your original inserts if you boil or acetone the original kit tyres off the original rims..

Broxtowe is all grass at the next round(assuming they don't do the multi-surface track), as is holbeach, West bridgford is mainly grass but with a meter wide concrete path through the middle. Safe to say that whatever you buy will work at all three.

Schumacher Yellow Minispikes will last you a while on all grass tracks, For ultimate duration you could buy blues as they will last for ages but can suffer lack of grip when the track gets cut up.

Ballistic buggy tyres are good but each of their compounds are slightly softer than the schumacher equivalent. Ballistic blue or green are good on a damp track.

Can't really comment on the GRP tyres as I have never tried them but they look like a good alternative to the above from what I have heard, Apparently they are not quite as good as Schumacher Yellows on a dry track but they do hold onto their grip better if the track gets damp.

If it's really wet and muddy, then Schumacher full spikes all the way

thanks for the reply,
sorry smOkin,i forgot to say next regional round,
i will have a look around for some
also when we were at Eastrack they ran 2 wheel drive at a 4 wheel drive meet,was that down to the club running the open class or can we run 4wheel drive at all the 2 wheel drive meets aswell,
thanks

hi certainly at broxtowe we'll run both classes in fact there will be 'open' heats of both classes to allow for anyone running lipo etc or those that do not wish to compete in the regionals hth

Reg,you can race 2wd at 4wd regionals if they are up to the 4wd weight limit.Only 2wd cars at 2wd regionals im afraid although as said there will be open heats for both .

[telboy]

I found that the GRP's had as much grip as the schuey yellows but the wear better, so last longer.

[reg]

thanks shark,i need all the practice i can get so good news about the open class,
telboy i will have a look at the GRP range
