I found at Calgary track Gravity RC Soft/Soft combo were easier for me to drive and didn't have the push at the end of the run compared to hard fronts and soft rear.
Yep carpet on the concrete, at NASCAR the grip is high due to the amount of rubber laid down every club night. I like the way the harder tires free the car up. The gravity tires hard front soft rears worked great too but as i said i'm just getting back into 1/12th and still hit stuff. The gravity front wheel didn't like that so much.
