Its rolled out.

Which tires are you using, what size, how long are you saucing

I was using magentas front and rear; and I try to give it as much time to dry; it might be 50 minutes between heats I'm not sure. On any event its still wet a little when it hits the track. Either I give it too much or I'm not giving enough time maybe. These tires were trued down to 43mm? rear, can't remember the front; maybe 41. I wrote it down but I have a 3mm ride height.

We race in an older building so the temp is a little cooler; not so much the fall though.
Sounds like you are on track with tire prep

I've run on rug covering concrete before, don't recall any odd grip issues ?

When you say the sauce doesn't help
Are you loosing all grip, or just balance front to rear ?

From my experience, Sticky kicks didn't have as much grip, or last nearly as long as SXT
