So there is a specific rule on the categoric non- use of tyre softener which is great. How do you actually detect it? If it is as simple of a hardness test with a Durometer you will need to agree what the number needs to be or it do you simply do a relativity comparison on the dummy grid? Failing that does the scrutineer have an old school tyre sniffer? I am not being funny but the next step is off site compound testing which is expensive and I can't see that happening.

Teesside and PF use a random control tyre (and engines for that matter). We have been accused of cheating at both and subsequently won on the control tyre but that hasn't stopped the accusations. Last time out I forgot to fit our fastest chain!!

Cheating, regardless of what it is, is fundamentally wrong but without a " club" or " committee" it must revert back to the drivers to self police this. The 3 sisters Prokart paddock is pretty friendly and surely if you know whom was using the dreaded softener last time out have a word. Mick and I did this with someone running a single 200 gasket on an old school T1 and those motors were not raced!

This isn't easy (and what people do in testing is up to them) but to retain the credibility of the racing at 3sisters it is important to nip it before it gets out of hand. But what do you if a sniffer detects something on the dummy grid? Exclude them from racing? Exclude them from the results? Make them change tyres after the race has started would be my suggestion and go however many laps down but what if they don't have alternative tyres?
