A lot of folks love Holeshots since they look like George Costanza's head in a couple packs.. Then they hook up great when it's dry, if you mind the throttle and DON'T STRAY from the line.

I've been noticing that Barcodes (gold, I think, they're hand-me-downs) are pretty good for when it's dry and a bit dusty. They seem to keep their tread pretty well and give decent, if not great, traction. Just have to keep an easy, steady hand on the throttle/brakes.

It's a fine line between being slow to be fast, and just plain slow. I'd love to have Maifield drive my buggy around for 3 laps just to see what's possible. Far from crushing my spirit, it would help me commit to my setup and focus on DRIVING.
