Yes, I have heard of this affliction before...I believe it is called NOUSAFOAM disease.

I usually use rubbers on carpet anyway...besides my wife won't let me watch it on the internet.

Default Entry Form

Here is the registration form for the race.

If you are planning on running the Micro Touring Stock class it would be nice if you could preregister. There will be an additional $5.00 for the stock class and additional motors will be $9.00. I will add this to the registration form and re-post it. Thanks----

---ENTRY FORM HAS BEEN UPDATED---

Aarron, any chance you could get them to drop that silly rule for this race? we literally spray our track in GB with paragon FXII for traction, and we have no issues whatsoever. the track will get tore up much faster from dragging bodies and screws than traction compound will "eat it up"...

Why not use Jack the Gripper? It is used all across the states now as a replacement for Paragon Ground Effects. It has no odor and grooves up nicely. It's not quite the same kind of traction as Ground Effects, but will provide good bite.

Gee hit the nail on the head, so to speak. You'd need to worry about bodies and screws tearing up a track long before traction compound would, if that is the concern.

Because "boys will be boys" and they empty their cans of Gripper and replace it Paragon.
"No compound period" rules keep any of the monkey business from starting.

"Boys will be boys" is a horrible line to use, and is an absolutely ridiculous argument. Paragon is easy to detect, and I'm sure it would be easy for the racers to police each other, if the race director does not wish to. Besides, who's to say nobody there has ever tried to replace TQ traction compound with Paragon?

It is not difficult to detect something like that, and prevent it from starting. Make a rule up front, if someone is caught using anything other than Jack, they're done for the day. That should solve that one.
