Default 2013 Proline Challenge - RHR Dirt, UK

The 2013 Proline Challenge race for 10th off road will take place at the fantastic RHR Dirt track which we used last year and has already been announced as the home for our very own oOple Invernational race, August 9th-10th-11th. Proven to be a fantastic track - this race should be one to watch.



The Proline Challenge takes place over the weekend of 18th-19th May 2013 and you can download the full entryform right HERE

Default Tires

Also I see the hole shot is the spec rear tire. What compound? Will it be run wet or dry? & what foam is aloud: 2-stage, closed cell etc?

Thanks.

Any compound, Craggy tends to use M3's. Any insert allowed.

The rule is - Holeshots on driven axles, any proline tyre on non-driven axle..

We've done two meetings there - one bone dry and one slightly damp and 'tacky' we will do our upmost to run, the long range weather looks ok so far. We have big sheets which we can pull out and cover the track for any passing rain showers. The track has more grip when theres moisture in it.

Quality isn't great, but the surface here was kinda damp; http://youtu.be/ocs2uCbM02U

I've picked up my tyres today from MB, and just about to mail Derek my entry.
The grip is great when the track is damp, so a bit of rain on it this week won't be a bad thing. Just hope it's not too wet at the weekend.

I'm hoping it will have rained itself out by the weekend! We have the rain covers of course so might have to sit out a round or two if its really bad, but we'd try and catch that back up on the Sunday. We'll do everything we can to keep on going!

Does this also mean we can make 2wd fronts out of other Proline tires? I have been running narrowed down M4 square fuzzies lately, & liking them.

Or just production tires that are available?

I would assume no cutting and shutting of tyres.

Hope it goes well for you guys at the weekend, and that the weather does not stop you getting prepped or running. When it rained at the invernational last summer I quite liked it when we had the mad dash to get the covers over, everyone suddenly pulled together!

Brodie, if the guys are cool with you running cut and shut fronts let us know how you get on, as far as I know nobody has tried it at a race meeting there as yet.
