I do it once before the qualifying heats start and before the mains. You get a nice routine going and it's not an issue at all. You only true the tires once, you're not retruing the tires all the time just when they're new.
once you adjust your ride height your droop setting goes out the window.in big race conditions,you need to readjust the droop and retrue the tires to get all the tires equal sizes again.its a pain but i do enjoy it.i had alot of fun running foam tire but i can see without tire sponsors,this could be either very difficult to be competitive or run you broke.at least the way i chunk tires. the pipe is not my friend on foam
