A note on tech and the Spec classes-

Running slicks in the spec class is your choice... However, if you do choose to run slicks, you must still run the spec panther tires!

The tires must have their origional writing that is on the sidewall. If this is ground off, your tire will not pass tech.

Take one of these-



Put it into one of these-



Glue it to one of these-



Once the glue is dry, Take one of these-



And put it into one of these-



Then apply the second assembly to the first assembly until smooth.

Then repeat for the remaining 3 tires.

If running multiple classes..... Sorry 'bout yer luck.

Belt sander works also. And is much quicker

But doing it with a Dremel usually provides more grip.

I think due to the change in the rubber caused by heat, along with the unevenness that you get from using a Dremel.
