I saw someone had these for sale on ebay.

What exactly is a Lipo rated tire?

I don't know if John is still making these or not, but he did a VELO tire...designed for the FASTEST of the FAST class on the big track, that was called a LIPO tire.

He sent a set to us as a give-a-way prize last year for our ALLSTAR SHOOTOUT race won by Eric Brust.

No clue what the diff. is between these and a standard SILVER or ORANGE EHW.

I saw the ad on ebay, and that's PDXRacing, which I believe is Greg Jun, who use to be the one who put the INDY VELO races on....

So, I'm pretty sure they are the VELO caps that John put together to run the SUPER FAST MOD/LIPO on the velo.

A reply I got from the guys at BSR.

It's designed for high speed velodrome racing where you average 75mph for time periods of 4 min.

There using extra high temp glue so the tire doesn't build to much heat and seperate from the rim.

This is what I was told...

the glue does not create the heat..

it should read...

they use a temp resistant glue for the high heat high speed velodromes style racing.

And your rides would make good anchors. Especially if they had rc4less tires on them! LOL :)

LMAO!:thumbsup:
i think the speed record used bsr tires and in the report the designer of the car chose them because they were the only ones that stayed together at over 100mph consistantly.

Which SPEED Record?

I know the ones used to GO 161 were custom made...but I don't know by WHO

was it the one at infineon, where the shumacher car won? I think it was the speed challenge or something? I remember the magazine explaining that they used BSR's but you may be right.. they may have mentioned that bsr made tires specifically for the speed run. Just more useless knowledge that for some reason my mind chooses to retain and forget stuff like birthdays,lol

Jesse,

Nic Case's 161+ mph run was made at the International Speed Challenge at ROCKINGHAM NC just a few weeks ago - the tires on the car were solid (and WHITE)
