There is not a ton of pit space especially considering the expected crowd. Should have enough space to pit outside though. Raced there this weekend. They do not allow tire sauce but will allow the use of slicks. IF you want to use slicks bring them as they don't allow them to be made at the track (too big a mess). However treads do work well. Track was fun and traction was very good. They were to have put in a mister system over the past weekend which will help with track consistancy. Should be an awesome race. Can't wait!

Not picky. Sauce is not needed and again if you want to do slicks do it at home. It does make on heck of a mess that most do not clean up on there own. No shame in a track owner taking pride in there track not wanting to have to clean up after a bunch of people that make messes all over. It is a nice facility. Dave the owner is a class act and you can see he has a passion for the hobby. A great addition to the JBRL. As I said should be a fun round.

We were on Panther Blue compound Rattlers and bobcats for 4wd buggy. I was running some Panther slicks on my 4wd SCT.

JC rubber seemed to work fine as well as AKA clay compound.

I saw a number of people using the AKA typos on the rear there. Not too many with the front typos as that was a bit aggressive for coyote from what I was told.

As for JC, most seemed to prefer bar codes over dirt webs there...again, I think it had to do with aggressive feeling there.
