Yeah , new tires make the fastest slicks ....
Yes I realize new tires make a better slick, but for just club racing I'm not flushing money down the toilet! If it was a showdown race or something I would do it.

Just buy the Panther slicks. No need to grind down tires.

Thanks Tony and Barrett.

Will the gold barcode tires still work fine?

How long do you guys think the track will favor the slick tires?

Yes, everyone is still running gold barcodes. The track is so abrasive right now that it will turn a new set of barcodes into slicks within a few runs. So everyone is just running on bald barcodes.
