I read just about every post in here and I can not believe no one has heard of central PA's saucing adventures.

Let me start out by saying I don't race anymore, but back in 2006ish, I was talked into racing 2wd buggy again at an indoor clay track my buddy found. He told me guys are running slicks on the track; so I go and order Panther "clay compound" tires along with another brand of "clay" tires.

We get to the track early to practice. No traction from any of the tires I just bought. So we go pit, both scratching our heads. We were watching other drivers own the track with their buggies looking to be on rails. I was disgusted at my buddy for letting him talk me into racing again. He had to go investigate; poking his nose in every ones pit space. Closer inspection of the fast guys tires and asking the hobby shop dude... tires turned out to be M3 compound Hole Shots with the tread completely Dremeled off!

My buddy came back and told me what they were saucing their tires with... really put me into disbelief . So there we sat in the pits for an hour gluing tires; sanding off the tread of those Hole Shots (using 4wd front tires on 2wd rims). I go to the nearest gas station; come back with new found glory... DIESEL FUEL.

I missed the first heat I believe(still Dremeling/sanding), but after watching my friend drive his Losi buggy around the track with a big grin on his face, I knew then we have arrived and was in the ballpark now. Me having installed a 5700kv MambaMax Brushless combo, that just came on the market, in my B4 and diesel fuel on my slicks... my first jaw dropping moment ... pulling a wheelie, with my B4, coming out of a corner; heading down the back stretch. That was all I need to be convinced.
