The gone bananas compound is a bit softer/more grippy vs the contact foam. I’m not sure you’ll get foam to be as fast as pins, especially when all other cars are on pins and fluffing up the carpet.

We ran them, they get marginally better as you go, once they got too small there’s no give and they start doing weird side step things on jump faces and landings. If you don’t chunk them, they last...

Plenty, starting with parts availability being a complete disaster, continuing with setup sheets that are nearly useless unless you spend more than the car costs in new parts to copy them, and ending...

We tried, Gone Bananas was not a reliable source. It was so hard to get foams that they were banned at our track. Only a handful of guys could get their hands on them. No hobby shops that stock them...

We tried a ton of different preps and compounds. S3 prolines were the best I tried. Too aggressive on the prep and it picked up a ton of fuzz and killed bite as the run went on.

Absolutely. And as far as foams, I actually preferred them, they’re definitely faster than slicks, but there are no reliable sources in the U.S. for off road foam.

I think it’s less complaining, and more of a discussion on the subject. There is a way to race off road carpet competitively, and cheaper than the current rules. Thats worth a discussion. Just...

We tried slicks on carpet, they were actually slower new, and got better over time on our carpet. The inserts would break down long before the tires themselves slowed down. The racing was SO much...

I wish ROAR would look at tire costs and make slick tire rules for carpet. I have a suspicion that the manufacturers would fight that pretty hard. Slicks on carpet made our racing so much better, but...
