Fastol, mind you a mexican won the mod A final!!!..and also 3rd
Didn't see any rubber tyres on their cars !!!

Just can't get these cars to handle on foam tyres
A QUOTE from 2 of the Mexicans running in Stock Class

well known Mexicans stated in another thread that all you do is throw on a set of 40 foams and your car will be dialed
A QUOTE from King G

3mm of tyre wear over 5 runs!...shit, a rubber tire is only .5mm and they last 20+ runs.
A QUOTE from Bersercoe
And I found it rather strange at the worlds the TEAMS had to SAUCE there rubbers to get them to work, and to the point for some teams, that the tyres were stuffed after 1 heat !!!

King G, I knew that I would get you to bite on this but when you make rediculous statements of just putting the one compound of tyre on a car and it's dialed, prove to be total rubbish for some of your fellow Vic's.
You do have to setup your car around foam tyres just as much as you do with rubber tyres is the point I want to get across.

By the way KingG, I am testing the Take Off 27's at the moment with fairly good success at Castle Hill, But when I purchased them from Chris P at Metro's, he even stated that you will get less than 10 runs from the tyres in mod class.

To finish it all off (dragging my nuckles across the key board) all I can say is
COME IN SPINNER
