When this meeting was announced the first post stated JC control tyre and on the stives web page

I had read this it was in bold and I went and brought my JC tyres

we used JC DD at the the nationals on a high grip track and in stock you could get 3 to 4 runs out of them

Thats a shame, i was looking forward to racing you in shortcourse..

Mav,,YGPM,,

thats right Pete, it was there for all to see in black and white so it should come as no surprise
If you were serious about entering the last big event of the year you'd go buy a set or two, it's not as if they're a crap tyre you'll be able to use them again on other tracks.
Have look at some peoples over all RC set up i hardly doubt a couple sets of tyres are going to blow the budget.
stop sooking buy a couple of sets of tyres and enter who knows you may even have some fun

I ran Jcons tires at last years event in SCT and you know what, they were pretty damn good

I didn't say they were no good I just don't really like them . and I don't think you were running them on the front of your sc last year were you ?

They r crap I've used them be4 and only got 2 races out of them so i want use them again
I'm not being a sook just stating a fact I no of at least 5 more people that would enter 2 classes if I was an open tyre event so u do the maths on that and c how many people u guys r missing out on

Costs for JCon's tyres if you need to obtain them at the track:

Buggy front or rear $13 pair

Truck / Short Course $16 pair

1/8 buggy $18 pair

FYI - Double D's are working well on the current surface with the buggies.

Even if the surface is a bit abrasive, I believe with the goop down you should get away with pretty worn tyres on the day.

Jim,
It's called "The Jconcepts Clash"...... it is here as well as all over the world a controll tyre event... as is the "proline challenge" , "the Sweep cup" and so on etc. Most tyre manufacturer's put on a race of some sort and they are all controlled to that specific manufacturer's tyre. The deal is that they sponsor a high profile event to help keep enthusiasm for rc racing .... and the entrants will get the chance to try a tyre by said manufacturer and perhaps find it to their liking and then of course continue to use the tyre into the future.
Thats the deal..... if you enter....then you are agreeing to give there tyre a try for the duration of the event.

Strong choce of words there mate. Could you have possibly chosen the wrong tread or comopund for the track you were running on?

Entries - Its not a popularity contest, we are at approx 40 entries already, half way to last years 80 entries with a week and a half to go, im sure we will go close to last years. We took the risk of a couple of reduced entries with the JC Controled tyre rule, if this happens so be it. We are not changing the rules, if you dont feel like racing at this great event dont, no one is forcing you.

Ari

last saturday night my 22 kept lifting the front wheels off the ground.....
not bad since the d/dee's were almost slicks

You can afford it Habbib,,,,last big meet of the year won't be the same without you there,,,
I've found DD's a great tyre at most tracks this year,with reasonable wear in stock,,,must be your HABBIB SPEC motors,,,too many rpm's,,

Do it,,u know u want to,,

No chance the habbib spec motor r running to much rpm for dd's chews them up like a mod car and this time I really can't afford to spend money lost my sponsor

Thought you were self sponsored,,
