that look s like a nice turn out there. Ill try to get 2wd truck and buggy videos this week. I am tired of looking at the same old videos we have of sc.
As far as dirt or carpet usually best driver is the one with the most practice/experience. Professional racers dont just show up on race day, they practice and race as much as they can that way they dont lose the edge. I know i couldnt jump in the car and run 220 with the indy guys.
Compound has a lot to do with traction as well. my sliders dont have any problem on the jumps with or without compound, but this makes sense, more surface area to grab the more agressive the tire the less overal surface hitting the ground so it slides on the ramps at our place... with a little sauce it isnt a problem.
I never tried the s tires in yellow compound, how long do they usually last for you?
