The traction and tire wear was excellent. Like Roger said, with the rains, the traction kind of went away and they actually had to lightly spray some VHT on the track to help bring the traction back up. Once we started to put the rubber back in the groove, traction wasn't an issue. For touring car, which I raced, I used just two sets of tires the entire weekend (one set for Saturday, one set for Sunday). Tire wear was very minimal (could have used Saturday's set on Sunday but just wanted to use some fresh tires for the main). You have to come and run on the new track, you will not be disappointed.
