Questions?? Controlled Tyres V Selected Controlled Pattern Tyres

ok guys this should be discussed so we can all see if its worth bringing up at the National EP 1/10th titles in October for voting etc

after seeing some talk from Matty Griffen and other talks around some tracks i will put it out there , with the sport / hobby on the growth i think we need to move with the times and with numbers growing top 5 state drivers and top 10 national driver should be able to get tyre help , not free i know but discounted deals should be able to be secured , we want the best to race at all these events and controlled tyre events can sometime cause issues

over the past 5 years every single state title or national title has either been run on a small pin type tyre or a bar type tyre , this should be opened up to all manufactures to say any driver can for example use any one of the following tyres

just a quuick example with out even looking

Bar type
AKA = rebars
Proline = Suburbs
Panther = Rattlers
Hot Bodies = Beams
J Concepts = Bar codes

Pin Type
AKA = Gridions
Proline = Holeshots
Panthers = Raptors
Hot Bodies = Megabites
J Concepts = Double Dees

ok that was just a quick look and some might be a tad off but you get the idea , all these main event need to attract everyone and there is a lot of people that know and use there own brand of tyre that there happy with surely if we are going to try and be the best in the sport then we should be allowed to use the equipment we practise with

i would like to hear others thoughts i dont mind limiting numbers etc or even compound softness thats fine have a go at the poll and vote so we can see if its worth taking this to all clubs at the nats

sorry i cant seem to get a poll up

should we be able to use controlled patterns from all companys
or
should we all have to use controlled tyre from 1 company
