Chadly,

I think you will find that (as per Scaleautro 8 hour events) sponge tires last much longer on a smooth "spray glue" surface all around the world than any hard rubber tires on "sandpaper" type tracks.

this is true for the softer, conditioned "hard" rubber that is used at most tracks now

if the cars were just slowed down a bit and harder (shore 40+) tires were mandated the cars and tires would last longer, there would be less accidents, beginners would get less frustrated.......
dont you think this would lead to bigger numbers?
K.I.S.S.

nb: do you think we'll get our own thread?
