That's a 'pimp' post if I've ever seen one

I can't believe someone brought up the potential dangers of using mystery sauce full of yummy chemicals. Real men use any and all chemicals regardless of any dangers to gain an edge while racing toy cars for bowling trophies. I especially recommend bringing young children to the track to breath in all the goodness. You should also remember to eat while saucing your tires, and whatever you do, don't take any steps to avoiding covering your hands in tire sauce, because we all know chemicals can't absorb through your skin.

Get with the program!!!! Who cares about health. We will all die of something.

Back on topic. I suggest lighter fluid mixed with diesel fuel, m.e.k., and belt dressing. Works great and smells great.

By the way, I have never believed those stupid warning labels. They are just trying to protect themselves from lawsuits.

It's not about a warning label, it's about an ingredient label so in case of emergency, doctors can see what someone may have ingested.

I think he's being sarcastic. I agree, there should be a ingredients list, at least a call out of the dangerous.

There is nothing like a shot of Buggy Grip, chased with 8oz glass of Simple Green first thing in the morning!!!

Makes for an interesting day at the track!!!! :-)

Done kidding!

There should be some kind of info in case a person does drink some of this stuff.

Had a grand daughter climb on to a book shelf and drink some candle oil years ago, poison control had us look at the bottle, then take her to local ER.

I've used reino's ragu for years at thunder Rc raceway in nashville tn. Dan Reino is one of our fast guys. It does have that hey I just took .02 seconds off my fast lap smell but the stuff works and works well

Go to a gokart race and then come on here and talk about chemicals. We prep tires and then burn it in with a torch. We breath in chemicals and the fumes from burning in it all to win. We don't care about the risk at the time, we do it because we love to race and love to win. As far as my chemical choice I have four different mixtures I like to use depending on the track condition. I have some for extreme softness to a hard grippy track. Find something you like to use and stick with it.

Meh, I'd love to see them just hamer garbage companies like cheater sauce etc which are just repackaging other chemical.

Not giving out a MSD will be the fall of them.

You hear the term play now pay later? May be fun to race but some of the chemicals used are known carcinogens. I don't want to preach about the topic but its only a matter of time before someone gets hammered for the chemical use in the industry.

There is not a minimum on the number of bottles that you buy anymore.

Thanks for the tip. My youngest boy ran Novice at Hartville yesterday. Did like you said. 2wd truck was hooked up! He started last in second heat. Finished first. First in A1 main, second in A2. Some people were surprised it was 2wd

What compound tire are guys running sauce on? I've seen guys do clay and soft tires... if you want a softer tire why not just buy the compound you want? Do you sauce a clay tire when you're running on a clay surface?

Does anyone still marinate there tires.. or was that just a fade that came and went?

Marinate.. Soak your tires in ... I use liquid wrench put the tires in a freezer bag and let bake in sun..been awhile since I have been to the track.that's why I ask.

Pretty sure most people know this technique.. But just wanted to be clear..

That truck has AKA Deja Vu supersoft rear, AKA Wishbone soft front. Mid motor 2wd SCT. Simple Green only on front. Plenty of steering. Sauced edges of rear tires heavily to gain side bite when powering out of corners. Truck has reduced rebound damping on the front, reduced anti-squat (1 degree) and rear shocks laid down to aid in weight transfer on the straightaways. Front arms are at full droop while accelerating down the longest straight under full power. The sauce allows him to start getting into the throttle sooner on corner exit. He's 10 years old and I try to make up for his lack of experience.

With Flying Farmer, we don't marinate. We clean tires right after a heat, then sauce them 15-30 minutes before the next. My brother and one of my coworkers still marinate. I've found that there's no need to.
