Default Traction Compound

Are we limiting the traction compound types/brand this year? I seem to recall talk about this last year. What are the generally accepted "friendly" (odorless) brands?

I think all manufacturers now make oderless versions of their products, even Paragon...

I have the paragon ordorless stuff adn its not odorless. It lacks the wintergreen oil but still smells like turpentine

But Yeh I do think the track should focus on using the non strong odor stuff cause it really bugs some peoples allergies and just in general. I know 2 people who cant go to teh track cause they get headaches instantly from the reak of the old Paragon.

I also heard people mention that the TQ Citrus stuff was OK also, while it has an ordor, its not nearly as long lasting or strong as the paragon stuff.

I have been using Goop hand cleaner since mid-season last year on my foam tires(rear only) on my truck and it's odorless,cheap,and I'm pretty sure hand cleaner is not bad for you.(unless you drink it!)
You can get it in 16 oz. squezz bottles for a few bucks.(a little goes a long way-a bottle lasts forever!)

if paragon wasn't allowed than it would be banned, there are plenty of people that use it, and as far as i know it is legal.
