Here is an appropriate answer to help your undergarment situation

It has been sometime since I have raced at Dalton, but I would recommend M4 Tazers in the morning. As the day progresses and the track comes around I would move to Holeshots then Suburbs both in M4. Temperatures are going to be low, so I would recommend the softest compound tire you have from any manufacturer. Using traction additives can also be beneficial with the lower temperatures.
Now that is some detailed information right there! Thanks for playing Mr Crawford.

Did the track get any grove for the race?

It was 2 years ago but I was there for the Turkey race. The track literally had ice on it in the morning, but by the mains it was forming a grove. They have really good clay there

Not sure about the fruit trees but the track did GROOVE nicely.

This last Saturday I run Sweep Double Action and Micro Contacts tires. I ran some of the fastest laps that I have ever run. I do not think that dust will be a problem because the track holds moisture this time of year. As far as 10th scale buggy, I would suggest running tires like Bar Codes and Hybirds.

This past Saturday I ran all day long with my 1/10 buggy. I used some green j concept hybrids and also some ss AKA vectors on my car. I run a Team C Evo buggy which is like a B4/RB5 hybrid car. Other then set up my car was hooked and traction was not an issue with the tires at all. I ran j concept rips up front. During practice I tried some soft holeshots which were slightly worn and they worked as well. A few of the other guys were testing tires but were a harder compound but still did decent. I think matt ran barcodes in the main but said it was a little loose.
