I'll be going to the IIC and I'd like to (hpefully) be somewhat competive and not just a moving road dot.
Thanks,

Eric,
Listen to these guys. Geeze, they spilled all the beans!
Only thing I can add is that the Calandra setup is what Frank ended up for the mains when the traction was unbelievably high. As OD says, you will likely be changing your setup as the traction increases. I am sure that the CRC team drivers will share setup information with you to assure that your Knife (and you) do well.
I forgot (likely because I am older than OD), the first round at last year's IIC was almost comical on that green track. I' m not used to seeing 1/12th stock cars having traction problems.
Oh, I do like the CRC Pro-Cuts.
