It dried out a lot, but it's still moist. Double Dees were perfect Monday.

It is better. Once its swept its good. Almost like usual. They have been keeping it well watered, so has been moist and slick during some practice days. Just a matter of sweeping and running on it. Should be just about like what you are used to though.

SC guys are running BEAMS and feels like normal. Buggy guys are running bar tires and working fine as well. I ran someone else's 22 with BEAMS and over shot the big jump by like 5 feet with a 13.5 ! whoa

It's good to hear about track conditions.

It would be great if anyone goes to the track early or knows they will be there earlier for the next couple of days if they could post it up. I would love to get in some practice, Mark, Brandon or whoever it may be. Beating some of that 84 traffic is always a plus...

Thanks.

The track absolutely sucks running the wrong tire like the Rebars you had on your car, on a practice night, without sweeping. Try a tire thats better suited to the track conditions like Holeshots, DD's, or Hotbodies Megabytes (or sweep the track). The same goes for front tires, cut and shut holeshots would be great.

Speaking of cut and shut, how do you guys measure and make straight cuts around the entire tire?

Dude you love to single me out geesh just my opinion, and everyone from out of town that came Saturday were running Bar style tires and was still fast.. I was only trying them out because they offer more forward bite than those sorry as Holeshots i brought last week.....

You only need 5 to make a class, but the more the merrier

Easy B.

Mark doesn't single anybody out, he just calls it as he sees it. That said, I tried Suburbs Saturday, and they weren't working for me. The Pro's whooped us, but we desperately need to step our tuning game up.

p.s. Holeshots worked fine for me.
