Oh I understand the class of racers that are there. I have just never ran stock there before and wondered if it was allowed. Just didn't want to have to change it up when I got there.

First time at OCRC and had an amazing experience. A big thank you to all the staff and racers for making me feel welcome and helping me out. An excellent racing facility. I'll definitely come back.
Cheers.

No, man, you'll be fine running it. Nobody will give you any grief. I just wanted you to know it wasn't going to be a big help.

I was thinking of experimenting with tire combo's on my T4.2 to see if I might be able to get a little more grip out there. Grip hasn't really been an issue per say, but I guess in the quest of always looking for an edge, I thought of maybe mixing tire combos.

I'm currently running Gold BarCodes on all four corners (sauced with LW Lubricating), and have some brand new Pink Taper Pins as well as brand new MC Suburbs that I was thinking of mounting.

Would it be weird to run Taper Pins in the front or rear, with Bar Codes on the opposite end of the truck? I know Suburbs and BarCodes are pretty similar in tread pattern.

I Drove Nicks T4.X at the Stock Nats so RB could have someone to beat up on in the over 40 class. My best advice is to run what Jackie puts on there cars. Never driven a stadium truck except for that race, the truck was dialed and fun!

If you get over the track on Fridays, look me up for a handshake so we know who we are!

Hey guys, pretty new to the hobby. Been to OCRC a few times for practice but haven't raced yet. Just curious, are most fast guys running mid motor or rear motor buggies? Not that it would make much difference to me or my son, we can barely drive straight (especially me), but just wondering.
