Looks like the bug bit again...see you guys real soon.

I had a ton of fun marshaling last night and it's great to see the RCHR community alive and healthy!

Will, if you are on here...as I said last night I really appreciate what you have done with keeping this alive in our area. Also a big shout out to everyone there last night, it was great coming back to what I was hoping was the same awesome community at RCHR.

I'll be coming back and knocking the dust off in 2WD Buggy with my B4.1.

BTW Will & Jay were such good salesmen that I ended up dropping some cash on a T5M.

Hey Y'all

What compound Dirt Webs or Bar Codes are working lately? Gold? Silver?

Stock J-Concepts inserts or something else? I think I've always just used the stock inserts.

Right now I would think tire selection would be
-green or blue dirt webs
-green or blue bar codes
- M4 electrons

The track is favoring a more outdoor tire as it's new but within the week it should be back to indoor tires. I ran my 4wd last night with blue bar codes and did well. My 2wd was soft de ja vus with rips up front.

Hot tires for buggies indoor right now are Proline M4 Electrons, I use the blue inserts although most people swear by the red AKA inserts. People are also having good luck with JConcepts blue/green dirtwebs and barcodes.

Indoor people run the closed cell foams, however outdoor most people will run the open cell foams that come with the tires. Personally I'm not running the open cell foams any more.

When we go back outside plan on having some kind of pin tire until the track gets run in holeshots/goosebumps/doubledees. Once the track gets run in you could go back to bar type tire like those above.

I've been racing-starved for two weeks. I need a full release...

I'll bring my fleet tomorrow and see what transpires, but I plan on doing a fair amount of vintage running, at the very least during open practice.

How old is he? They have Slash rentals at the track he could use.
