Great job at Jackson guys. I had my wife's 2 brothers over and we had an afternoon parkinglot bash session. Bill was getting some much needed wheel time and Chuck was keeping up with Bill by the end of the day, even though it was his first time touching a car. I think I might be dragging these two to MD for the double dip.

Bob- I'm waiting for the 3 degree blocks to come in to put on the front, to be able to try Weylinn's setup.
All I need to do with the Frederick setup is to get rid of some front traction. I was overheating the tires. The car worked awesome. The car worked awesome in the main. I reduced the amount of traction compound on the front.

Paragon. We think tire tweak is going to work when it gets hot.

Has anyone tried Jack or TQ Orange etc??? Last year I went with WD40 wiped in and tire warmers once the track got real hot and greasy and it worked well...when the VHT heats up traction just gets tricky...

Track temps will probably be around 140 if it gets hot out. but then at night it might only be 100. I think that tweak, dip, buggy grip, wd40 will all work when the track is hot.

We also found that a new set needs to be scuffed in before running them. If not it takes about 3 laps to come around.

Hybrid, It's distributed by Schumacher so Bill can get it for you if you need it. If he can't, then come see me I have 4 bottles of it coming in my next order. 2 are already spoken for, but
