That track is friggin huge and your car carries some speed so the steering or lack there of became an issue. I could swear that you could get away with pink fronts
At the IFMAR World's on that track guys were running the additional gurney flaps on thier Speed 12's for more traction. There were cutting the ribs out of thier rims for more rim flex an the fastest guys were running Yokomo foam that no one had access to except for Masami and some of team AE.
Thats was with an extreme coat of sugar water and still no traction.
I think all the rain we have has lately has washed off all the good traction the nitro cars normally lay down (foam and castor oil).
