love those pearl whites-tqd and won with them sat night, and I thought the whites were nice--

In 19 turn at the Ovalmasters I ran a Gray LF, Blue RF, White LR and a Gray RR. That combination worked the best for me.

Corey Heft

Were you running a KSG?

If so, offset pod straight up t-plate?

Kenny@RAPTOR

I was running the old KSG. I was running offset pod.

I need suggestions on tire compounds for 4300 brushless on a flat 135ft high bite track (Allen's in Rochester Il.) My car is fairly fast in the straight but I am losing alot in the corner. It is handling well but can't carry the speed. I am running a grey on the LF, a black on the RF, a white on the LR, and a grey on the RR. I have heard of some of the guys using greens on the left side front and rear. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Hey big mac - I've never run brushless but I've been told that 4300 is a bit faster than 4c stk, on a flat track that size I typically run greens on the left and a silver/gray rf and a gray/white rr. This should be at least a good starting point. Of course chassis setup is always a factor too, if you need any other help just ask.

Corey Heftthanks that is what i was planning on bringing but i run flat tracks mostly so just wanted to be prepared

Be prepared to possibly run a black on the right fron tat Sandhills..
it will help you turn a bit better..

Billy

Thanks AJS, Mr Fastman, & Sprintcar11 for the help. Gonna try some different tires Wednesday night.

Blue RF

Corey, was that the normal hard blue RF or the Soft Blue one John has which is a touch softer ?

could someone that runs at sandhills pm me what tires to run for stock and also 19t just want to take close to what i am going to need to use

At the Ovalmasters in stock I used
Silver LF, Hard blue RF, Grey LR, Black RR
no wing

Be prepared to possibly run a black on the right fron tat Sandhills..
it will help you turn a bit better..

Billyok thanks for the tip i got a ba zillion blacks the blues are what i haven't had since john took over bsr last time i was up their was on bsr when ronnie vines made them here in bama if that tells you how long it has been i think then people where running triple blue rf double blue lf double blue rr and white lr i will look you up when i get their i may need help been a while since i ran banked carpet last few years short flat tracks and big banked crete tracks but atleast i will be on EA batts and motors so all i have to worry about is the setup

you got that right....

I've been running blk -rf, grey -lf, grey - rr and pearl or white lr (depends on track conditions).. thats in mod.... few of the guys i know running in stock and 19trn are running blk-rf, double grey or reg grey - lf, grey-rr and white or white/grey -lr...

Some thing to think about.... ... but what ever you use you can make work and just fine tune your chassis to it...

Billy

Corey, was that the normal hard blue RF or the Soft Blue one John has which is a touch softer ?

The Blue I ran was a 58 on my durometer.

thanks Corey

Using the color coding scheme, how do you distinguish between natural, exotic, etc types of foam?

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck, go to www.bsr-racing.com There is very detailed info on all BSR compounds and their applications

so what tires are people going to use at the nationals next week in stock?

so what tires are people going to use at the nationals next week in stock?

You mean at Classic?

Black LF
Blue RF
White LR (Grey if the track gains bite)
Grey RR (Black if the track gains bite)

That's what works for me

Adrian C.

Adrian is dead on for Classic.

Other options that work well for stock for Classic are a Silver LF, slightly less bite than a Black and a touch firmer, good if your car is real agressive. Settles it down some.

Also I have had good luck running a White LR and Gold RR in stock.

For 19T
Adam Liehr has the track record with Black LF, Blue RF, White LR, Grey RR

For Mod
I would say Grey LF, Blue RF, Pearl LR, White or Grey RR depending on the bite

thanks. see ya saturday for some practice.

I'm looking for the difference between Green and White the web site shows same duro and same med/soft ? any help? running flat oval carpet :confused:

Typically Greens and Whites durometer the same.
I think Whites offer a bit more traction. Greens should free the car up a bit.

Good showing by BSR at the ARCOR nats.

Congrats to Adam Liehr TQ and win in 19T
Rick Liehr TQ in mod
Adrian Chandler Win in Stock

Typically Greens and Whites durometer the same.
I think Whites offer a bit more traction. Greens should free the car up a bit.
The greens also seem to fade toward the end of the run after the tire additive has worn away.The whites seem more consistant.

Other way around Eric.

The Green will allow more grip than White.

Rule of thumb...

On low bite tracks, go with...
Left Front: Green
Right Front: Gray
Left Rear: Green
Right Rear: White

On high bite tracks, go with...
Left Front: Green
Right Front: Black
Left Rear: White
Right Rear: White-Gray

Hi Jeff,

Really! I never experienced the Green to fade away toward the end of the run...

I'm using Paragon... might depends of the sauce you use :-)

Steve.

Steve is it because John's Green is softer than his white that would make it bite more? Or are you saying its because the green is normal foam vs exotic foam?

i know back in the day before John took over BSR, at a big race when we used to use Paragon the track would lock down and everybody would switch to green and blue rears to free up the car. could be a banked track thing not sure.

A green 30 offers more grip than a white 30.

Once you start comparing softer green vs firmer white (vice versa) it's like throwing in variables in an already complex equation.

Next time you run on a worn out carpet (zero grip) compare both the green and white ... you'll get your answer :-)

John's green foam used to be firmer than whites ... that's probably what happened at that big race (guys going to firmer tires to "un-glue" the cars).
