I reckon we should have only allowed "Hot Shots". The only chance I had to win Mod was that if my competitors run out of rubber.....

Hi guys I went to the track bout 6.30 am today and got a water off. Just as I was finishing it started to rain again. Unless the good lord decides to burn the track dry today we most likely will not be racing. I will check it again this afternoon and place a post.
cheers

GRAND SLAM
Hi Guys
Lance and I have met at the BDR track. There is still heavy mud puddling on a few sections.
We have notified the Grand Slam Chairman that the track will not be suitable to race on tomorrow, particularly if it rains overnight as it is forcast to do.
Therefore the Grand Slam Round at BDR will be postponed to the last round of the series, date to be advised, probably around September.
Any entrants who have paid fees will need to advise me if they wish to transfer the fees to the postponed event or if the wish to have a refund.
Those that have paid by cheque, I can destroy the cheque if requested. Those that have paid cash will have to arrange to pickup from me.
PLEASE NOTE: AS THIS WAS TO BE A NORMAL RACE MEETING FOR BDR WE WILL NOW BE HOLDING THE NORMAL CLUB RACE DAY ON THIS SUNDAY THE 26TH, WEATHER PERMITING IF THE TRACK DRIES OUT TOMORROW.
IT IS ALSO THE CLUB’S AGM. ANY OTHER CLUB MEMBERS THAT WERE ENTERING THE GRAND SLAM THIS WEEKEND ARE WELCOME TO RACE ON SUNDAY IF THEY WISH. CHECK THE BDR FORUM FOR AN UPDATE ON WHETHER WE ARE HOLDING OUR CLUB MEETING ON SUNDAY.
If anyone needs to contact me re fees return etc they can email me at [email protected] or phone 0438749866

IMHO, I would not have relented, of course I wasn't subject to the barrage of complaints from the “Loud Minority”. I understand the reasons/pressure the committee was put under (at the 11th hour) to change from a controlled tyre. It is a real shame as the "rest of the World" is about to or already has moved to a controlled tyre for both On-road and Off-Road that this competition has made this move just in time to be behind.
Now everyone can have the joy of trialling various types and compounds for every track, under all conditions... hmmm sounds very inexpensive doesn't it & fun to boot
.Now the tyres are open, is the committee sure this will be enough notice for "some" to have the right tyres or will we hear more whinging,
as you’ll probably need to wrap them up in cotton wool to keep the little darlings content. Regards,
Peter

I couldn`t agree more Pete We the committee thought control tyres would`ve been good. I would love to respond more mate but I am holidaying in Hawaii thanks to the kick backs on sales of Pro Line 8th buggy tyres. Talk to you when I get back
Talk to you when I get back

Its unfortunate that now to be competitive, will have to source supply of these tyres to ensure all track conditions will be covered at each events. X2000's, ifmar pins, big shots, bow ties, holeshots, evil twins. And just in case the tracks are broken up, better have a supply of ifmar studs or 8081's handy. Dont even mention what compound - red/pink/silver or m3/m2 or R3.
Considering there are 5 rounds qualifying and 3 finals, better make sure i have enough of each tyre to get me thru the whole event.
Dont you just love open tyre rule!!!
Despite this, i will still be there. Along with my 40+ pairs of tyres...
Lastly I would like to thank Grant and his fellow organisers for donating their time for no gain in promoting this sport amonst our clubs. Without these people, we would not even be having this discussion, as there would be no event whatsoever!!! Just remember that!
