But oh well, helped me to find that spot one car length to hit the jump, so a tough race but I feel better for have practiced and raced it.

Anyway....I hear blue jconcepts tires are working at Topeka???
Pink BKBARS rear, pink tapers or green rips front will be best in my opinion

I think JC blue barcode V1's should work. Jason puts so much time in R&D with jconcepts, so if you stick with his tires they will always be the best. Can't wait for the 3D's to come out.

Ok guys I am sorry to beat a dead horse but I want to be sure of this before I get a truck all set and then not be able to run it.. Your going to be running a stock 17.5 blinky CORR class AND a open mod CORR class right? I have no place in the mod class I cannot control it well enough but stock is a blast..

Its open CORR...but 17.5 is all you need on our track. This layout doesnt have any huge gaps...Trust me Im faster with a 17.5 than a 13.5 in my truck! So if ya feel it may be too slow throw a 13.5 in an youll be PLENTY fast! Some of those guys with 8.5s cant even control there trucks on our small track. Hope youll come to practice and see even the stockified setup will be gooooood! I bet majority of the A main will have 17.5's in there trucks
