Anyone have any insight on this topic?
Not enough info in this post.
Was this affecting foam tire or rubber tire classes?
1-cell or 2-cell classes?
On-road or Oval?

I've seen in the past that some tracks had a lot of static build-up in them. The old pan car solution was to hang a wire from the bottom of the rear pod that would drag on the carpet so as to electrically ground the car.
