This should be a great race to get you ready for the birds. Lots of fast guys, and usually a great turnout. I think we had around 50 racers there last weekend.

As far as I know it is oderless (Jack is what is sold at the track). The only Paragon that I have seen or smelt was from people soaking their tires in it during the week. But at the track you cannot use it.

I would not doubt that someone has tryed it but I would consider it not acceptable!!
Rosewood has alot of traction I would not even think you would want to soften up your tires.
I have tryed tire tweek the night before a race and found it
to make the car too tight and slower.Anyway we will have to get Glenn to go over the rules. As far as I know everyone uses Jack the Gripper.Or maybe Niftech but Jack is prefered. Hope to see you there .

Thanks Brian, You can run my MINI or VTA car if you want. TeamHurricane, we will separate the two classes. 4cell is only 4.8v and lipo is 7.4v, would'nt be fair. Come on down for some oval fun. Gonna be big.:woohoo:

If someone can get ahold of Mike Russell, and Billy Kimpton I think they are going to be running 13.5 4 cell at the birds. I am sure they would like to get some practice in.
