Needles rip up mondo tracks and are almost always not allowed at meets.


Christmas trees are usually not allowed as well.


The real question is which type are allowed. PYRAMIDS


I think each brand has its own unique design and than standard types you can buy in the store. I have not seen any official studies on which spike type gives any performance advantages if there are any. I have seen studies on the type of tracks, but never on type of spikes.
