Daytona Prototypes are no longer made. The class was eliminated 3 years ago with the unification of the road racing series.
And DP's were never raced world wide. It was a class specific to the US |

And if it never makes it to production, you can take it off the list and pretend it never happened like with the Furai?
Hmm, probably not. |

Not sure what can be done , if there is any (however small or perceived) advantage, everyone is going to gravitate to one body. Just getting back in to racing and it was sad to see everyone in the A and B mains this weekend running the exact same body. it was kind of boring. with that said, guess what body i am buying.............

you probably don’t care. But solid chrome paint is not ROAR legal. Not sure about USVTA though which really counts |
Do you have flashing lights underneath 😳

These usgt tires. I’ve heard that these tires take a while to get to their sweet spot. What’s the process do you guys use to break these in and not be like on ice the few sessions out(asphalt) The last 3 + years I’ve been racing 1/32 slot cars and the tire sauce, prep, truing was all hush hush (cheating). I used SXT 3 on them, what’s other “sauces” would you suggest. |
I too am trying to understand the tires a bit. I was running with pretty new tires and a local recommended I run the tires on a tire sander a bit. I also noticed a faster racer using tire warmers even on a warm cali day. The tires are a fairly hard compound so the warmers get them to operating range earlier. I was off the pace the first minute but after the tires lit up, I was able to keep pace with the lead pack.

Two reasons I choose usgt, real bodies (haha, two bodies really) and not spending $50 a race weekend on tires. Buying a tire warmer kind of defeats my reasoning. I’m new so I’ll get them soft and will see if I get the hammer, probably not as I won’t be a threat for a podium for a while 😬

I used SXT 3 on them, what’s other “sauces” would you suggest. Last Thursday I put a brand new set on my car and did around 100 laps or so. Turned the car over to a driver that does only national level races and he did some blazingly fast laps with no problem. His only comment was about how well balanced the car was. |
Same here. I just use them right out the package. Usually first few laps a bit slick. But doesn’t take much. Couple of the guys I race with do use tire warmers. Think more out of habit. |
A lot of people talk about wanting scale liveries...

At big races (NYGP, Indoor Champs, Birds, ROAR Nats)we run 60mm of glue on the front, Lite sauce, new tires that have a 1-2 minute run on them. Sauce 5 min before the race, wipe after 30 seconds, Tire dry to the track. This all depends on driver skill level and track conditions. I can club race with 3 mo th old ballooning tires and do well. about when it come time to do well at the big show and every thousandth counts. New tires are always faster. |
