I have used carborater cleaner, this past season. I won one race, took second the following week (got Hit) and won the next two weeks. "When and why would I clean the tires" Seems to me that clean tires are happy tires. We run on old asphalt and I try to keep the dirt& sand cleaned off (the track). I ain't really sure if it was 'clean tires' or if I was just in the zone but I foolishly decided to run a Barracuda R2 and didn't do so well so I'm back wif My Xrays. Took 2nd last weekend but didn't clean the tires. |

at my track we are only allowed to use jack the gripper, and we use foam tires, with 19T motors, what i usually do is after i marshal the race after mine, i put the compound on, and let it soak in for the length of the race thats going, (6 min), then i wipe it off with a towel, and let it dry until my next run, this seems to give me the most consistent run for the whole 6 min race, i also put full compound on both the front and rear, or if i go to a softer front, i dont put any on it, and it seems to work basically the same as the harder front with full compound, oh and we usually only have 3 heats, with 5 min between heats, and 10 min between rounds, its jsut a little club track, so the compound probally soaks wet for 8-10 min, then i wipe it off, and it drys for 10-15min, when it drys its usually dry to the touch, but the foam is left feeling sticky, if its not completely dry it feels kind of wet and slimey, |

i've never used rubber tires, but i know for foam you have to give it time to soak in (i usually give it 10 - 15min), if you jsut put it on and then wipe it off, it works good for a couple laps, but then the traction all goes away, i dont know if its the same for rubber or not thgouh, i asume it would be thgouh, |

I use Stick-ET on my take-off 27 and 22's. It seams that the traction additive wears off about 2 laps into the race. Is all the traction sauce good for is getting a fast start or is it supposed to stay on throughout the race. BTW: I race 19turn on asphalt. |

IMO you are looking for it to last long enough to get heat into the tires. Sam |
