Seeing how opening day is less than a week away is there any scheduled practices or a race format set for the on road track. If possible could you post what is planned for opening day. Im trying to make it on Friday but I work out of town and probaly won`t make it until Saturday. Thanks for any info.

I just checked out your web site and both your tracks look incredible. It's a journey for me, but I hope to come up for an onroad race in the future!

Take Troy's advice, try the Soda or Sugar water first. use VHT as a last resort, especially on unsealed asphalt.

Use the soda. Sugar will stay in the pores of the track and will get sand and dust stuck to it. Ron at adrenaline told me that the soda is way better

vht is temperature sensative and very inconsistant. you can have mombo traction one hour and no traction the next.

Don't spray anything down. That is most consistent.
