Id love to see a good food court of some type with variety. Good clay/dirt with NO SUGAR!

Oh and an indoor 1.8th e-buggy friendly track would be an awesome thing to have back in my life! MY EB48 is very well rested and wants to come out and play.
My 1/8 good use a good stretch also

You guys are all we have left. That's all I'm saying. Lets have some fun.

and PS you all suck for making me drive so far. :P jk
Very well said! Especially since we saw what happened last time one track opened next to another.

It gets the underside of the body sticky if you don't run mud flaps.

Sugared dirt cause extreme traction and massive tire wear neither of which is high in a B4s owners list. Lol

I was looking at some pics JConcepts posted, and I think some of these tracks are getting out of hand when it comes to traction. We're almost driving offroad buggies on on road tracks. Yeah, it makes for some close racing, but whatever happened to the ever-changing loamy tracks?

Look at this pic, it looks as hard as concrete:

It's consistent is why it's heading that way. When we old schoolers raced it was gold step pins all day. Giant roosts and let her eat now the current generation of racers are the " I want it now or ill do something else" type. Just how it is.

That is NO sugar, water, or any other adhesives. That is just from plain being run on. HRH dirt forms high traction very quickly.

When it comes to the bigger races, consistency is the key component that they're looking for when doing sugar, soda, dry track, etc. It keeps it consistent from qual to qual, race to race, which helps keep an even playing field for everyone. Downfall is tire wear. I wouldn't worry about these types of tracks for club racing. Track owners want racers to keep coming back. Toasting 3 sets of tires for one night of racing won't help, lol. Having some pure clay would be the shizzle. Water once, maybe twice a day. Run one set of tires for one or two months. Money.
