Foam and asphalt are two completely different animals!!! Alot of folks think foam is easier, but just like Kerr said, you can be quick on foams, but its difficult to be fast.
Foam racing is much more aggressive racing in my opinion. Its just faster b/c how much corner speed you can carry opposed to rubber tire. I think rubber tire makes you a better foam racer b/c with rubber tires, especially in low traction situations, you have to "nurse" the car a little more around the corners. I think you can "see" a bad setup on a rubber tire car much more easily than you can on a foam car.
just my $.02
