Russell,
Good to hear you will be racing with us tomorrow.
The point with the tires was to keep the outside diameter to a minimum diameter so the car is not riding lower to the track thus lowering the center of gravity and giving someone an unfair advantage.
Tire wear is not as excessive as everyone seems to to think. Let’s see what it looks like in a before and after measurement for all cars tomorrow and see how much actual wear everyone gets. Like I said earlier, I ran for three hours on well trued rear tires and completed the first race and am still within the rules by a big margin.
Lets look at tire wear tomorrow and I will see if the rules need to be modified any more than I already have.
Let me explain why track is an important measurement. On heavier cars like the RevoSlot’s a wider track can give the car more stability in the turns. Wider track could result in better corning giving one car an unfair advantage. That is why I am so concerned about it.
Let’s see how everyone does tomorrow with the rules and see what if anything needs to be changed.
