Also you need hard inserts. Gold barcodes with hard inserts with a little traction compound and they will work not great but work. I use sticky kicks "white" on slicks and it like running on fly paper. Check my setup it's real close to Jorn's, but a little easier to drive for me.

I checked your setup earlier and noticed you were running slicks. My barcodes were already pretty worn, and by the end of the night they were basically slicks. At that point they were hooking up like mad. Anyway, have you tried running a mini pin style tire? If you have, how was it compared to the slicks?
