I wish we could as well, but because of where we run we are restricted to not using compound. You can run rubber, but we have yet to find a setup that works, but hopefully the free racing on Monday nights helps the burden of having to run foams.

Do you guys not run tire compound because of the smell? If that is the reason just use one of the odorless tire compounds that are made and only allow those type of compounds?

The only other thing is if traction is low you might need to run CS22 or TO27's or Jaco yellows or Jaco greens. Something that makes more traction on low bite condidtions.

No, odor is no problem, we can not stain the carpet. Any suggestions?

Can't help you on that one. I would think that on the carpet anything that is run long enough will make a groove on the carpet. With no compound it might take longer but it should start showing a groove and darker coloring as you guys run more.
