Cheers, Paul

As tyre warmers will not be compulsory even if they are allowed it could still well happen. And as I said in a earlier post there were less first corner mass pile ups in club racing in the days before tyre warmers, than there has been since. Maybe the reason for the increase is the speed differential going into the first corner between those that have tyre warmers and those that don't add into that a rider without them trying not to be beaten into the corner by the guy next to him that has used warmers, recipe for disaster.
So maybe the choice should be everybody has to have them or nobody does.

I'm not voting on this, I have my own views built up after a decade around the club scene as both a mechanic and a rider, helping out at the TT and National level.
I signed up under the current rules so am waiting to see how many of these rules are now going to be changed.
