I've been very happy with the Wasper's for a while now, I just ordered some I-Blocks and X-Cross tires to try next race day, can't wait to see how they work for the local club in my area!

I finally broke into the 98% consistency range with the Wasper's this past weekend too!

Awesome job!

I use I-blocks whenever Waspers will not last the 30-60 min A-main.

What James racing tires and compounds would be good for a track that is hard packed, dry/dusty,and a bit rough?? Weather is usually between 85 and 95 degrees.

Thanx for the response. Dot evo seems to be the go to tire. Maybe The same tire in soft when the track is more moist and groomed? The reason I ask is that during non race days the track is how I described in the previous post, but on race days it is a lot better and not as rough. All my local tracks are outdoor southern clay which has quartz mixed in with it.

Yes soft work if it is grooved up or damp.

Yesterday at the Southside raceway in Bermuda I ran the Dot Evo in qualifying and Waspers in the 20 min A. I was second qualifier with the Dot Evo's running consistent times and laps. In the A main I was able to win by a lap with the Waspers. The tire felt fantastic on a dry/dusty rutted surface. It's probably the most consistent I've been in an A main on this layout. Definitely will be ordering some more.

All James Racing Tires are now available pre-glued for no extra charge!

Are they venting the pre-glued tires?

They are supposed to but they forgot, so you need to punch 2 holes in them with a leather hole punch or 6MIK multi tool.

gotcha... I have also seen some folks use hollow brass tubing chucked into a drill to vent holes in pre-mounts too.
