Hi Mike,

Just a few questions

At present i run a TC3 outdoors on foams, 37s all round but wider on the back,last year i ran controlled cs22 premounted so i never had any trouble as we were all on a level playing field, but now the class is open and you can run what ever motor, weight and tyre you want so i went for foams as they seem to be the quickest. Our track has just had new tarmac put down and the tyres on one side have coned after only two runs i thourght it might be because the new surface was more abrasive but my setup might possibly be too stiff i run purple spings with 60wt oil up front and gold springs with 50 wt at the rear with 2° of camber all round what do you reckon any help much appreciated?

Another quick question what inserts do you run in rubber tyres normally ive been told that you need an air gap so the heat going in is balanced by the cooler air in the air gap is this true

Cheers john
