Has any track ever tried runnin gno surface prep other than sweeping/blowing and no tire prep?


There is a local track in the Carolinas that does this and USVTA lap times are only a second behind USGT. And this is on a large outdoor track.

I am just curious as to why we as racers want velcro type grip on every surface in every class.


We have complained about motors being too fast for a class, talked about new rules to “slow things down”, talked about handout motors, spec batteries, cost limits, blah blah blah. But no one (ok 1 guy) actually talks about what the best thing to actually accomplish this is. Limit traction. Stop asking for, actually demanding, higher levels of grip. But anytime this option to actually slow things down is mentioned, the individual saying it, gets accused of blasphemy. Apparently asking to slow thing down via less traction is the third rail of RC cars
