For those unfamiliar with our track..Its 100% topsoil. Super soft bar type of tread works great

So are you guys running the track wet, so say water still in between heats? or a bit dryer?

Be sure and preregister on rcsignup.com, this will give us a better idea on how many trophies to order, and also I have it set so you will need to enter your transponder info for your vehicle... sorry its easier on me that way...

Dustin are you running a scrubbed or clipped tire like last time or a full pin?

none of my tires have been clipped or scrubbed, they do have wear from running them and seem to have gotten better as they naturally wear... I want to try to sand some down, need a good bench top sander....

The tires I used when you were down here haven't worked since that night. I've found an M4 suburb seems to have better bite now than the jcon tires, even though they look the same. I'm guessing it's the rubber compound difference, or just me.

I have a new set of Bro Codes in green and they were not good at all last Saturday night.

Thank for the info Dustin....I ran some not so new green barcodes with the AKA insert. when the track was wet they were both loose and hooked up, one area my car would push the next it would loop out, kinda like using full treads at chillcothe when the track was wet.

Kyle that is interesting that BroCodes didn't work, hmmm. Back to sqaure one. I guess I need to try some blues maybe.
