Hi Todd,
I know you said to view the website for any specs and noticed the Sweep tires for the stock sedan class which is not anything new, but I was wondering if that is going to change with the rumor about how horrible the current Sweep tires are performing? I am looking forward to coming up there again for this race.

Thanks for putting this on, it is always a lot of fun.

Kody has a big batch with "NW Spec" stickers, and he mentioned he wants to push for having everyone run them so we're all in the same boat.

Kyle Predmore TQ's the entry! Well done, Kyle. Stuart is excited and is doing visualizations of victory as I type.

Chad: I am finding out whether there is something more than rumor to the tire thing. Rumors happen, and it's possible the cold concrete floor and frigid dry Nebraska air contributed to the grip challenges at Nats. Word is that pan cars were slow to get sorted as well.

So, there's still plenty-o-time to get it right.

And, I am 1000% confident that if there is an optimal prep regimen to get the most out of these tires, then we'll be getting the word out well ahead of time.

so how is that new configuration working out? ive been thinking about that. i may have to experiment with weight distribution on the f1. are you at 50/50? or closer to 60/40?

Hi Chad,

The whole thing about tires was manly coming from a few people that promote other tire brands. Yes the latest batch of QTS32 are a little harder then past but this was a change to help traction roll problems in high grip. You can see in the videos there plenty fast and provide great grip. They do take a run or two to break in then they are really good and consistent for several runs there after. The good news is this latest batch are better and have better grip then the new spec tires used at Snowbirds they are saying.

Still to this point Sweep Racing USA has provided us with great tires and have never let us down on availability. This goes a long way for a large club/big race.
