Awesome!
Great to see you on here Ryan. I am very tempted to run 1/12 after last week. I do have several sets already that I will need to burn off.
I feel like my "game" has been stepped up a ton.
I sat with Kevin Hebert, Rick Howart, Mike Haynes, Juho Levanen, Sean Cochran, Bob Stelflue, Mark Dawson and Walt Henderson. I drove them nuts with questions.
Mark Dawson is the funniest guy ive met in a long time.

Currently rebuilding cars.
Dave.

I will be ordering trc tires on Wednesday, and just seeing if any one would like me to order any. Compounds are pink double pink magenta platinum. These tires work great. Common pairs magenta rear pink front.
Ryan, are you trying to do a group buy for 12th scale tires to keep the costs down for everyone? How much are the tires based on numbers ordered?

Ryan, I'm good for tires (for now) but I want to give you a "heads-up" about TRC tires. Last year I ordered what I thought were the same compounds I had been running in BSR. I ordered Magenta front and Pink rear. Shore ratings were 32 front, and 30 rear. It turned out that the BSR magenta/pink had been 40/35.

If you have used the tires, and have found a good combination, then you should be set... but just be aware that TRC colors are softer than the other brands. The combo you mention, is 30 shore front and 32 shore rear, which sounds very soft to me.

Picked up the touring car today, last time I raced it was the Snowbirds 2 years ago, the tires were crunchy. The battery in it was swelled up an extra half inch but it still powered the car up. It may take awhile to get things tip top again.

Cam, what car did you end up getting? Swelled packs are faster, apparently all the fast guys are running pre-swelled packs.
