Thank you Steve for the great explanation that answered my question Thanks Bud :thumbsup:

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.
YIP!!!!! sure does, I noticed that also since I don't
(CAN'T) run Paragon anywhere anymore.......

What tire traction would you recomend for double purples on outside asphalt.

Joe, try Trinity tire tweak! Its the best I have found for asphalt racing.

Beach

Tweak works well if you need alot of bite and like a lot of mess, hehe

I use Trinity Red Dot at our Asphalt track.
If the car is wicked loose try some SPF 45 sunblock, make sure its oilfree though

Hey Guy's could someone explane to me the differences in the bsr cap tire types like the net, EHW and pro lite? I am going to do some velodrome racing at Indy and have been out of it for awile so I have lost track on cap tire rating and types.

thanks
Jon

Jon,

For Velo racing you want EHW tires. I've never run the velo but I'm pretty sure Silver EHW's all the way around is what most use. Velo guys please correct me if i'm wrong..lol

Pro-lite= no kevlar net
Net= kevlar net (slightly firmer, most of us use Nets on the Right, Pro-lites on the left)
EHW= double kevlar net (considerably firmer, used at velo's for rolling resistance and they won't "balloon" and come apart at high speeds)

just started useing bsrs and I pick up more laps thy are great tires

BSR Tires TQ,Win, and new track record in Pro-Stock and 19t at Speedzone Hobbies Rocky Hill CT. NEOT stop #4. Mike Valentine in 19t and Scott Law in Pro-Stock.

So I want to switch to BSR from Jaco. I am running on a Ozite flat track with about 145 foot center-line. I am (and everyone else) running
RF - Black
LF - Gray
RR - Gray
LR - White

The car seems like it needs to "Push" more to me. When I come out of the coners I almost have to turn to the right to make the car track down the strait correctly. Any suggestions? I am running the Spec class. Spec batteries, spec motor, and a Truck body.

RF black or grey/silver
Lf grey or green
RR white or white/grey
LR pearl

BSR Foams TQ Set track Record and win the main by 2 Laps at RCSportsMania in Phoenix Az ....By Team Driver Jeff Helms ....In a Field of Orange .....

Way to go Adam. Your fast everywhere you go and only getting better. Hope to race against you both again soon.

Ricky
What combo's ending up working for Adam ?

Adam ran a pink LR, double pink RR. purple LF, and double purple RF.

Later,
Rick

Cool, figures track finally gets some bite and no dirt/dust at the beginning of the year and I quit racing

Adrian said he's ot 43 in his unit so tell Adam not to get lazy

hey john,


I finally had a chance to run the bsr black rears at knn, and let me say, they work awesome, blacks on the right side,greys on the left side, plenty of traction and no rolling friction, tq and win in stock. thanks for the great tires,

wade
team bsr/pole position/hyperdrive/putnam-propulsion.

Good job Wade, you are the man!

Hey John, If you don't mind me asking, how does one get ahold of you. I've sent a bunch of E-mails and a couple PM's.. :confused: ......

Thanks....

call the number on there site.. ask for john or kevin.. there there 99% of the time...

Just to let you know, I switched to BSR's this weekend, TQ'd and Won at Thunder Road in Gordonsville VA. I gained a full lap. Flat oval, running 70/30 gray/silver fronts, and white rears. Thanks for the great tires, and perfect rims!

Joel

That is awesome Joel, glad you like the tires. We work very hard to make a great tire.

Bill, just call if you have any questions.

John or Kevin, I have a questions about tire selection at the Indy Velo. Which capped tire do you think is better for that track - Silver EHW or Orange EHW for 6 cell stock/4 cell 19turn?

I've been running your newer tires and currently hold the ifmar and heads-up records in 6-cell stock Indycar, but I'm looking to break the 19 lap barrier for that class. Do you think I would gain anything going to Orange?

Another question I have is about tire prep. I've run once at the Midwest Tri-Clone and most of the guys were using some pretty nasty stuff to clean/prep the capped tires there. I know it is because the track is sealed asphalt and Wisconsin never gets super hot. What do you recommend for a high banked concrete track like the Indy Velo. I've personally been using a touring car rubber tire solution that I think has been working but wanted your opinion.

Thanks for the help and great tires.

Brian Smith.

I wish I could tell you one was better than the other but I have not done back to back runs on the clock to tell you one is better or both are the same. I switched to orange last year just so I could see. But having not tried silver again in a back to back test, I just don't know.

I have had the best success at indy with wd40 for tire prep. The other stuff works well on tracks with tighter corners that generate more friction on the tires and cause them to start rolling rubber or pushing the rubber to the left. You can use it at Indy and get the tires tacked up but they lose that tack after a couple laps due to the wide corner and smooth texture.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I might have to try the orange's and see if my lap times are better.

John and Monti what is your reason behind running "R"s at the velo? Is it just because of ride height? Just wondering because i thought about running L's so i didnt have to worry about the tires hitting the body.

BSR Foams TQ And win 19t at Sportsmania in Az tonight...And new Track Record ...

BSR Foams...Thanks, I had a great day at Seaford on them for sure. Qualified third and finished fourth after getting RACED into the infield at the start!!

Mark Z.

John, great job on the truck tires, they are awesome! Does MSA have them yet?

Yes, Barry has them ready to ship.

Outstanding, you stuff ships tomorrow, I will e mail a tracking number when I ship it. Thanks very much for your support of the 2006 Southern 500!!

Great job Phil, Mark and all you guys that choose BSR for your tires. We will keep up the good work we do for ya all.

I made the switch to BSR's about a month and a half ago. I've been faster on BSR's than on any other tire, thanks for a great product.

I do have one question I'd like some opinions on, I have been running 19 turn at K&N in Stafford Springs, Ct. I've been using a soft blue on the right front, but with the warm weather and humidity the right front is starting to dig into the carpet. I was thinking of trying to go to a silver in place of the blue, what should I expect to see between the two compounds? Thanks Bill B

The silver will have less bite than a soft blue.

Doug P

The silver and black are close in firmness with the Silver having less bite.

The silver is softer by quite a few points compated to a soft blue.
Car will be way more agressive and turn on a dime with the Silver RF compared to a soft blue.

Maybe try a Purple/Blue or a Normal Blue.

Thanks guys, I was thinking maybe if there was a 50-50 black and the harder blue. I'll keep trying.

There is a 70-30 Black/Hard Blue.. I tried it at sandhills..

Awesome, I'll try to find a pair, Thanks

I didnt know they still had a soft blue......I thought they went to a hard blue..........

They dont really....Last time I was over at the shop before arcor nats they had enough to do a few sets of tires... They sent them to Akron for that race.. Im not sure if they ever got any more of that foam...Its been a while since Ive been over there... But I got 3 pair of them.. he he he

Erock - Whats up?!?!?!?!?

We have plenty of blue in the 50 to 55 range (BSR soft blue)available right now. The harder blues will be available soon as my supplier for that raw material is struggling with his raw materials.
