Well,being that our track is run on county property,we can only run Tq "orange" becuase of the smell the carpet would have in the storage area and the fact the county doesnt want the wintergreen smell in the building where the carpet is laid.they use the exhibit hall for other events.We are running on the same carpet going on the 2rd season and all we have used is Tq orange.Personally no complaints in regard to degredation of the carpet.We run Fainfair so I dont know if that makes a difference.
It dries out fairly quickly but if alot of people run on it the grip goes through the roof.The track owner is pretty anal about people wiping off tires thoroughly before putting down so any excess is either on a burnout mat or wiped off at your pit.As of now I see no reason to run Paragon as everyone at the track runs the same stuff.And I mean everybody.We know that paragon works better,but what can we do.Jack the gripper is pretty wicked stuff
Since you guys actually roll the carpet up there's probably more opportunity for it to escape the carpet. Permanent tracks that are laid directly on concrete are the most susceptible to degradation from TQ.
