A few of the team guys including myself went out to SDRC last night to get some runs in on the new layout.
Two things we noticed right away was the slight bit of moist loam/dust build up and where the groove is it was a little slick. After a few chassis set up changes I had time to run some comparisons of the two sauces and found something good (or interesting depending on how you look at it)
After the track was blown off and lightly watered it gets that slightly slick top layer until it dries out a little about 10 minutes after. However during this time I sauced with Black about 20 minutes before running and backed it up with Gold 15 minutes after that, towel dried the remainder and went out. Though the track was still a bit slick I had more grip than before just using Gold or Black only.
So.... If you find yourself in the heat right after watering try a double sauce of both finishing with Gold.

Tried TS Gold on my B4.1 last night. Ran the first heat without the sauce and fast lap was 30.54. With no setup changes, I ran a 30.16 with the sauce on the front tires (gold Barcodes). The layout was new so I'm sure the added experience accounted for some of the difference in lap times but the car was noticeably looser in the corners which leads me to believe the car had more steering. On the negative side, I'm not a fan of the dauber but they give you the option to use it or the flip up tip on the bottle cap so no complaints from me.

I'm glad you liked the sauce. Curious to know why you didn't sauce the rears as well? 
The option of the flip top allows those who like the "rag method" or "tooth brush method" to be used.
The rag method is great for saucing just the tread and not the carcass. Keeps the tires themselves from going all "Gummy Bear" on you.

Track Star drivers will be in full force this weekend at SDRC for the Top Gun Shootout.
TS-Gold has been the tire sauce of choice out there and SDRC has plenty in stock as well as TS-Black.
If you have any questions regarding our products or need help with your set up please come see Pres Ilog or myself.

Depending on what you want from your tires.
We have been experimenting with saucing only the tread. It takes more time to accomplish but as stated it won't allow the carcass of the tire to get "wallowey" or "marshmallowey".
Something I tried this weekend but didn't have time to break them completely in was where we normally use a Super Soft tire and sauce it, I went to a soft and sauced only the tread. The tires felt more stable and I still had really good bite. Needless to say I will break them in and compare back to back with Super softs.

I stopped by Jimmy's pit on Saturday and talked with him about the sauce and some techniques; he brought up using the Black and Gold combined as mentioned in an earlier post so I gave it a shot and I have to say, there was a noticeable difference on track (not just on the clock). I was running gold Barcodes up front with Proline CC foam and MC Suburbs out back with Proline CC foams. I used TS Gold for the 1st and 2nd qualifiers (tread only) and went with Black 20 minutes prior to my 3rd qual followed by Gold 10 minutes later. Both sets of tires had about 5-6 runs on them and I sauced the whole tire for the 3rd qual. The fronts are noticeably softer but the rears feel about the same. During that 3rd qual my buggy lifted the front end under acceleration a few times which hadnt happened before (road a wheelie about 2/3 down the straight 
).
