Thanks for the heads up, maybe I should have looked at a 2013 calendar.

I have found the Losi Pink Bk-Bar (rear) and Taper-Pin (front) to be the best most of the time for 2wd buggy though I haven't raced since winter. They are much better when the track is moist and at least as good when dry imo. Wear with the pink rubber is also great. Use closed cell inserts in the rear or the foam will break down long before the tire is done.

Yes, the pink bk bars still work best when the track is still moist but later on in the night Blue barcodes V2 work better when a groove starts to form and it dries out a little. Its best to keep a set of both on hand.

3d's worked all day today from wet to dryer they seemed to get better thru the day may just be the tires coming in but i liked them alot. I've also liked my proline holeshots. I like pin tires i guess

We run a 10 week point series for our Tuesday and Friday night club racing as well. These are separate from each other as well as the Saturday fever series.

Nope...

Trackside has awesome pit space. Indirect down-lighting with upper shelf storage. And I've never run out of the supplied power strips either.

All that's requested is that you use a pit towel/mat and a lipo sack for charging lipo's if you use them.

Can you feel a difference on the track between bar codes V1 and V2? I want to order some tires up for the spektrum race, but not sure if V1 is better or V2 works better.

Thanks.

Yes you can feel a difference, best bet would be to order or buy a set of each.
