I found the Schumacher yellow mini spikes to be perfect on a 2wd
seemed most others were using the same.

would love to race there again, the surface was fantastic (even if it did get everywhere)

Running in 4wd I found the dboots multibytes to work extremely well for the practise & for the first 2 rounds, I swapped over to yellow minis afterwards once the line got packed down...

I ran yellow minis in 4wd and yellow minis/staggers in 2wd. Craig was running DBoots and TQ'd both classes so they seem to work pretty well too

Well run event, surface was cool to race on aswell!
And also well done to Craig and Greg on their wins

I'm sure Harry won't mind me saying this but he was hoping to run a few meetings in the future, probs better to be a winter series?? Now that some of the 'top guns' have been and raced then they may spread the word, I know that the venue is pretty well north however if the venues good then I'm sure people will turn up!

Any thoughts?

I loved it, it was a good day and it was seriously close in Qualifying. I'm gutted I missed out on the A final.

The surface changes all of time which made things interesting grip was never the same from round to round.

The more racing there the better, no tyre wear at all absolutely perfect.

I'd happily race there every week if I could, so I'd defo be up for more of the same.
besides, somebody has to bring up the rear

Cheers Chris, Yeah we have enough stuff to host smallish club events at the arena on a fairly regular basis, obviously theres nothing to stop us dragging the ropes out onto the fields or dirt out side for the odd event too. Perhaps a winter series would be best? Would be great to do a small series with 2 rounds a month over the winter?
