I think generally more front tire (larger diameter) gives more steering for these tight courses but I'm cheap so I like to "use up" my tires before swapping to a fresh set. What is everyone's threshold for what "used up" means? On my open 2wd my fronts are down to about 21.5mm inner... Is this too thin and time to throw out?

Ran CCW with my ProStock 787B for the first time this morning, and it was pretty good with a few TR in the 180* off the straight, but all but 1 landed on it's wheels. I need to do some setup work, but when it's going to be 80* this week and freezing again the next, the setup is going to be tough to nail down. Anyway here's the starting time.

Hope to shave at least 45 seconds off this by the end of the month, but my brain likes CW!

AM03GT FWIF I usually run my front tires down to paper thin. I find they are more consistent the more they wear down, but I'm also thrifty. Its the Marka rears that I can't run too far down without losing performance. I usually have to replace them when they get somewhere below 24mm.

when you are in the page setting up the race, you will see the date and time at the top of the screen under Race Name. you can click in front of it and edit there. You just have to remember that it's for that race only. if you click repeat practice, it will just have the date and time.
