It's your club Steve, I'd guess you would know better than we would, ask you fearless leader, he probably has a plan.

Foams actually work OK on the floor in your hall once the dust has been swept by other cars. They are faster on the carpet than rubber but slower on the floor, I found lap times the same on either tires last time, in fact I ran foams for the last qually and the finals.

DCM 11-08-2008 06:27 PM

it all depends on what he decides as a track, if the jumps got carpet on the up slopes, then great, if they don't, then foams struggle a little.

Body Paint 11-08-2008 06:39 PM

wasn't an issue anywhere last year

frogger 11-08-2008 07:52 PM

Gecko foams grip nearly everywhere :wub

Come on boys, don't be scared of the micro cars, I know they are fast and furious but you'll get used to the speed and big jumps eventually :thumbsup:

:p

Here's a little video to wet your appetites. You might even see mr Doughty in there somewhere :D
