Looking to come up on Sunday for the trophy race. How is the surface looking? Small pins or barcodes? Supersoft or clay?

Tires seem to be a bit subjective, which I think is a bit odd, as most places one tire style usually is best. IMO,
1) If you prefer mostly fwd traction, go with a bar type.
2) If you prefer a slideways type, go super small pin. Wishbones, Pressure Points, or Ions. All in softest, no Clay.

I will be posting yesterday's vidz sometime later today, so that might help choose, too

D3's are definately good to go!


Surface is really coming along quickly. Should be nice and grooved for this weekend. The majority of the racers are running very soft compound bar style, everything from suburbs to wish bones!

M4 suburbs, or any soft bar style tire has been the key for the track James.
