Tires do not wear uniformly. Where at on the tire depends on your camber and type of track. My local track usually has more right hand turns and high speed ones at that, so our left rears always wear faster.

If your tires are wearing right down the middle, that's called business as usual haha.

Adam you arent wrong by any means......but being over motored can definitely make things worse.....and cause premature tire wear.....which is why guys like Maifield go down to 8.5's for indoor when traction is lower......when he normally goes 7.5 everywhere else.

Those are nice as well.

Hmm, this might be an opportunity for a manufacturer to step up and make some new wing mounts for the B5.

they will be alum though. Small companies rarely mold parts. To pricey. I might consider the alum wing mounts "if" they came threaded and maybe even included the buttons.

Oh no doubt, good job indeed to MS. Hartson is crazy fast everywhere he goes. I'm really just poking fun about the super specific TCRC setup sheet.

Sweat I joined the broken front bulkhead team. But I earned it. Full speed into a wall.... so I will be running the 30 del one tonight. It actually felt pretty good to me with the 30 del bulkhead
