Obviously I am new to all this, but how would the tyres be warm in the first place?

I personally like the idea because it gives me a feel for a start and a race before my first proper race!

The rules are for the New Era Club as whole, DD are the only class within New Era that do not use tyre warmers.

I'm all for trying new stuff, and to be qualifying in a race format should give plenty of clear laps to get a fair time on the board... rather than having some slow plank on Pole just cos everyone else got held up! (speaking from experience!)

What I don't understand is how it would save time - someone want to enlighten me?
