there is no 'hott' tire for here yet... the track is very green, but the good news is that truly being 100% clay, about anything along the lines of a small pin is fine, and quite honestly rite now while it's real bumpy is just something with a rounder profile is a bit more forgiving, just bring what you would anywhere else that had unlimited traction... oh wait, just bring what u gat, you'll be fine

Purpe or Black Hara V.2 inserts with Sorex 36 is pretty decent.

hey guys quick update,danny and crew was alittle tight on time for the last track build getting everything ready and really wanted to make sure they were able to give us the drivers the free practice and race days so they didnt have as much time with the track build as originaly wanted so long story short they will be re-prepping track same basic lay out which those have driven on it already know it is a blast but will be rotatilled and prepped and slight improvements to current layout,and will be buttery smooth for those that were concerned and thought it was just a touch bumpy,this will be taking place sunday night after racing..
im sure danny and or kasper will be on soon to update on future plans,grand opening's etc..
so if you havent had a chance to come out yet make it a priority and get down there for sum offroad racing on sunday,racing starts at 3:00..

Hopefully a spec tire will be implemented to on-road racing.
I nominate Jacos because they are economically priced and easy to find.
But any spec tire/insert would be better than a tire/insert free for all.

im not an offroad guy.. but isnt that the point? if you want smooth, look across the way..its called onroad.

thats about as funny as the other guy complaining his car was "dirty" from running on the off-road track.
