So once A3 is released it will replace the blue compound? If I'm looking for a compound for indoor clay that's dusty and low bite should I get the current blue compound or the A2 compound?

No...Blue and green will stay as standard soft and super soft.

What track are you running and what is currently the hot tire? Sounds like maybe green or even silver.

Keep fighting the good fight - you guys continually put out great products.

My home track is MHOR Raceway in Colorado but I'll be at SDRC in a few weeks. Last time I was at SDRC I used silver ellipse but after a run the tires had a chalky feeling. I've never experienced that at my home track with silvers. It's like the dirt at SDRC has more of a sand mixture in it. I also use gold dirt web in the front and ellipse in the rear some times. I'm more just curious if the aqua or blue/green would preform better.

Okay...I'm pretty sure Silver slicks is the go to tire for SDRC with the TDK (gen2) sauce. I would recommend talking with Matty G when you get there and he for sure can you help you out with tires. Let him know I sent you over to talk to him and he will get you dialed in. The Raymond family races there too, so could talk with them as well.

What would be the biggest difference in gold vs blue compound? Both are listed as soft.

Gold and Silver are a "clay" compound and is designed to be used on indoor hard packed/damp prepped tracks. Blue is a traditional rubber that works on indoor and outdoor med/hard packed dry surfaces that don't see a lot of prep.

Question on the JCO steering rack for B6.2/3 buggies. I thought I saw that it needed 2mm shims to equal the geometry of the stock rack. Is that correct or am I mistaken?

That is for the B74.1 steering rack (adjust the bump-toe). The JC steering rack for the B6 series is exactly the same geometry as stock :nod:
