it also depends on how much time you spend spinning....... my tyres were fine

It's not anything to worry about, you'll be having soo much fun during the day that any thoughts of your tyres are quickly dispelled by the huge grin on your face.

I Think you'll find I own quite a few now. Finished every career race off this morning, might have to play another game now.

Anyway, back on topic.......

Is it any good for spectating at North Weald? If so, I might try to blag a day off and come over with the camera.

Bri4n,

tbh other than a few high speed spins (and yes there will be some!) you are better going over in the afternoon, when they will be doing the handling course, this is much closer to where you can watch, and as it is timed much more competitive.

Chris even managed to take a pic of someone 3 wheeling a dog carrier
