The track has been re-profiled and will be the first meeting of the year so is likely to be low grip and dusty, thats all i know at the moment !

Well i luckily won some hpi s compound tyre in a raffle at the weekend so hoping they would work

Last year I used JConcepts Green compound Subcultures, they have a nice large/open tread which is ideal for cutting through the dust

Last year I ran Proline tyres, Slicers on the front and Bowfighters on the rear in M2 compound, finished second behind Richard, but it was the only meeting he didn't lap me Thank good for a long lap hey! This year I'll just change to M3 compound for the rear tyres...

As Chris said the SCT Nat will be the first race on the track, expect zero grip to start, it usually builds through the day. I think the track is open Saturday for some practice, it will help clean the line...

If the race is wet, it will most likely get switched to the astro so don't forget to bring some tyres for that as well.

Alright thanks guys I'll make sure I have some prolines or Jconcepts available as well as the hpi tyres
