Having not raced with Hottrax I cannot comment, but I can certainly remember a couple of very wet races with New Era being red flagged - one at Brands and one at Donington.

I know most people don't like racing in the wet (especially me!!), and having road tyres only makes that seem worse, but we are all out there on the same tyres.

The way I see it, racing is about going as fast as you can whilst staying on the bike!

As Ron says, having wets would only make people think they can go faster and this would lead to any crashes being at a higher speed and costing more to repair and more hospital visits.

If the A class want wets, and the extra cost and hasstle that goes with them, then that is fine by me. When they get their own grid!!!

I was actually enjoying it ! If I had finished the first race that would have been my best result. As for the first bend of race 2 I came out of that with more than a handfull of people behind me. Nobody lapped me!

Dont think we will get a solution thats going to work for everyone!
