VHT provides too much grip there, the cars become slot cars, and the winner is whoever has the best cells.

I will def run nitro but you will have to sponsor me the carmr BK, i believe you have a fresh NTC3 sitting there how about it?

Thats assuimg they are using VHT which I recently heard was illegal (Its supposedly an enviromental polutant).

The council has already told one of our tracks (Brendale) in Queensland that if they use VHT or allow drivers to use any type of tyre additive then they will be closed down (environmental reasons) - hence all additives are banned at that track.

I reckon the writing is on the wall fellas so enjoy it while you can.

not just a polutant, it's carcinogenic.

Isn't this what they use at 1.1 drag race meetings to prep the track?

when i saw the efra air box in the mugen mtx 3 prospec you can see the future there too... it wasnt that long ago that there was scaremongering in calafornia about the banning of nitro all together in that state

Tim wait a couple of days and the full rules and format will be available everywhere - you will be able to tell by the complaints

Very High Traction.

It's what a lot of clubs use to spray on a track to bring up grip.

I wouldn't have a clue what it's made of, or where you get it.

That VHT (track maintenance) poop SHOULD be banned. I think it better to look for set up than rid your car of grip. I hate the crap. Tyre additives are not permitted and shouldn't be sprayed on the track either
