On the track size: it's very comparable to RC Plus. If anything, maybe a little longer but also a little narrower.
As for the laptimes, they only started a road program up there last year. They were trying different things, and it's true that some of their layouts were very basic. A fast TC driver like Wes could lay down some quick laps, for sure. When I ran 1/12th with Kuney, and Trav ran his TC, the laptimes were more in the 8's for both. Which probably doesn't say as much about 1/12th, but that gives you an idea about TC.
In brief, expect an RC Plus-like track in terms of size and layout.

I would like to thank Todd for answering this question for me after we talked this afternoon, I am still quite new at all the different tire compounds available and would like to keep everyone on the same page for tires and using the three listed above as our spec tire would be appreciated so we can keep the cost to minimum.
Thanks Allen T.
Thanks Allen T.
so for the guys that have run sedan at TZ with the solaris and at the Hanger with the sweeps, which tire would you say will be the fast one? I do realize you only ran the solaris with jack the gripper for compound, so it may not be a fair comparison. I guess I could just buy all three spec tires and see which one works best on my car. so much for cost control.....

I have some sjr 32's and speedmind 32's, I have yet to run sedan at hanger 30 so I don't have any of the sweep tires, I didn't run the TZGP so I don't have any solaris tires. my jaco blues got thrown out when the hanger switched spec tires. thats why I was asking if it was open brand 32's. just trying to keep the cost down for THIS racer, but I guess I can't run them.

according to the rules as written and posted I would be good, but I wanted to make sure so I asked a direct question twice and never got a direct answer. Mr. Morris makes it sound like they want to stick to one of the three brands so I will go that route i guess.

hey Richie both of thoughs tires are sorex based tires .the sjr's are sorex tires monted on jaco rims the aren't part of jaco .Bill Bowerman had them made for speed world as a high preformace tire.
the speedmind tires are also sorex tires mounted on there rims .
and form what i understand they banned the sorex tire because of cost?

Can't agree that sorex is one of the best tires out there. Might be marginal on asphalt, but on carpet they suck tubular appendage.
