This is where all the Information is to go regarding, Tyre choice, whos going to win etc etc.

Lets spread the word about the North East, and make it a Fantastic Series for 2011.

More Information to follow.........

Get yourselves booked in for this event... It will be under a roof so no getting wet but the surface is brilliant to race on. A mix of Dirt,Rubber Synthetic stuff... I'm sure someone can give some better details.

Yes Lee your definatly booked in dont worry!

ha ha! Youll be fine, its all fun fun fun!

[Kash]

I ran minispikes (yellows) last year I believe thats what most run... There maybe a better tyre out there worth trying.

Minispikes did wear well and gave a reasonable amount of grip in 2wd

I just bought 15-16 sets of random wheels/tyres so hope to be able to pick and choose but if not ill be putting in 'Another' big order to JE this week lol

[chrispattinson]

Cant wait for this...

Craig..... like Kash says, yellow minispikes worked best from what I used. A new set, with no spikes cut off, and after 4 rounds and finals, no wear at all on the tyre

[Dalton]

Soft inserts ?

[Andyp]

Are they rules on tyres for regionals eg ballistic/schu mini spike rear ? or is it open ?

As chris said a new set of yellow spikes had no wear after a days racing and seemed to work ok as i remember

maybe some soft american rubber would be good but not sure if they will be time or anyone brave to try something different , if allowed !

Andy,

Tyres are Open, its not as strict as Nationals, so anything goes.

some things never change lol...... What happens at regionals stays at regionals

[Dalton]

Who's turn is it for the blow up sheep ?

[baD]

The blow up kind are permissible in the privacy of your own dwelling, the real animals around the site are completely out of bounds !

[Kash]

i think Lee has a fetish that he really shouldn't be telling everyone

[Dalton]

Did warn u...... regionals will never be the same
