This is what Hot Rod usually looks like for a club race (read that, every day except for the Shootout, JBRL race, or the Reedy Race).
IMO, if you get your chassis to work at a club race, you're going to be hurting when they have a big race after it grooves up and starts to take rubber.
Also, they had all the FT parts at that race.
Thanks for the clarification. Just looked at their setup sheets. They did have the ft parts.
I'm wondering if it was slick or high bite? They indicated on their setup sheet that it was slick and medium to low traction. I guess they had a typo?
