Why are slicks not allowed ?

Normally the lads who use slicks are the more competent track drivers so surely safe ?

Every year this comes up

And every year they allow them, just ring in advance explain your not a novice, they monitor you, job done


Drive like a twat and expect them to tell you to take them off

Chinese whispers on this topic is comical

Our day is not an action day, however Spikey is 100% on this as as he and I both know as we have been doing it for so long now...

Slicks are not banned, however you need to contact Combe before you take part on our day. It is upto Combe marshalls so be warned act like a dick and your off. Bring a set of wets/cuts slicks as we dont want any complaints and we dont do refunds!
