Interesting and better than I was expecting, thanks for posting your results. However what I was suggesting was to take a current, A-main level car (17.5 and/or 13.5 motor) to be a really good full test of a rubber tire possibility. The one thing that I believe that we all can agree on is that we don't need more classes, so for this to ever gain any traction on a nation level it would need to replace 17.5 (and possibly 13.5) foam. Have you ever tried it with anything more than 21.5? Is 21.5 the normal stock 12th motor at your track? And if so how did your car compare for lap times with the local hot shoe?
