Is there a dedicated spot for IFMAR worlds winners? I usually sit there.

There will be parking lot racing this Saturday, not indoor carpet racing.

If possible, it would be nice to use something non toxic like this:

Someone would have to ask CRC if it is ok to use on their carpet.

The issue with black carpet is you don't need HIGH TRACTION sauce. SXT has minimal smell and is the industry standard sauce for most tracks, with black carpet. BTW...EVERYTHING is toxic and will kill you given the chance.

We don't allow the kids to use Paragon at Hadley. Because of the fumes. The odor permeates the area. I use sticky fingers which is a good tire cause and evaporates quickly. and there ateotgers. Many years the owner of Parma told me Paragon was basically oil of wintergreen and paint thinner. He even gave me the recipe which I have forgotten but never used.

Sean did a great job keeping the races moving and did it basically by himself with some help from Gerry. Thanks to Ken and Dave for getting there early. Ken blew all the gravel off the track and Dave help set up the track. It was perfect weather for racing.

Sean, I noticed the results for the second round of heats is the same as the first round on Live RC.

I asked them for a MSDS. We will see what they provide.

If it's not good for kids it's not good for adults? For the everything is toxic crowd, fine, but one would still prefer to minimize toxins, especially indoors. Things that evaporate do it into the air we breathe. I have literally had migraines go off as the fumes come up at the track. If you don't that is great but don't assume no harm is being done simply because you don't see the immediate effects

I'm not arguing as that is a no win battle in internet land, but it seems to me if no one used the stuff everyone is equal. And since this is a new track we have the opoortunity to start fresh and follow suit of many tracks around the country that are successful. At least TDk provides their MSDS.

Why do you keep talking about paragon? Nobody has used paragon indoors for YEARS, I really doubt they're going to start again now. Let the powers that be decide what to use for sauce, and live with it. I can't personally even smell SXT.
