Boo! I didn't get to meet too many people, which was disappointing. I guess that's the penalty for being that guy. 
I did have a chance to speak with Danny & Jack, and both were very friendly and chatty, and seemed genuinely interested in feedback, even from an amateur.
I never even had to re-glue my tires. After the first day of practice, it was apparent they weren't wearing at all, so I ran race tires the second day, and used them the rest of the week without incident. To me, this is what makes rubber on carpet so nice. You should have seen all the foam tires being used.

I just picked up a set of Blues and Greens, I run on a track where I have been using Sweep 32's, it's an outdoor asphalt track, temp in the 70's are forecast, what set up changes (if any) would I need, and would the blues or greens be the better ones? Traction compound isn't used at the track.

Not sure about with no compound.
My take on the Jacos is that Blues are equal to a typical 28 compound.
Assuming that the track temp will be below 120 F, I would increase the size of the two air holes in the Blue's wheels and try them first.
I am still waiting for cooler temps to use Greens outdoors.

Mixed reviews Ive heard on asphalt. Some people love them and others have trouble getting them to hook up. They wear great and look great. At our outdoor sealed asphalt parking lot track sprayed with VHT we haven't been able to find the setup that matches the Sorex tires most use. Within .4 is the closest per lap avg any of us have been able to get with them. It is an ultra-competive track though with many top racers so may be fine for a less competitive track. Also, that is with 10.5 motors. A more mild motor may be closer.
Can't wait to use them on carpet b/c they are definately the best looking tire made.

Definitely ranks as best of any pre-mounts I have ever used. Thanks for that!

So the Blue dots are equal to say the Sorex 28's, what are the Green dots? I took by the code that green is JAC2428 so that'd be on par with a Sorex 28 and the Blue being JAC2432 would be on par with a Sorex 32?
Do I need to up my camber from -1 to say -2 for these tyres?
