Foam Tire Size
I'm new to carpet racing and it looks like the local "fast guys" have cut about half the foam off of a new set of tires. Seems to me that it really helps the cars handling. What is a good starting size to true them down to?

55mm is minimum for ROAR rules though. Depending upon your setup, running below 55.5mm may upset or even enhance the cars handling as well.
Most drivers start anywhere from 60mm down to 56.5mm (again, depending upon setup, budget and race importance). On carpet, anything above 60mm usually results in traction rolling.

for big races i true my tires down to 59mm and then run them till there at 58 and then i put a set of 59mm back on.
For club races, i just toss a new set on, and run them till 55mm or till the chunk
