Hi Josh, Did you us a sticky pad to clean the tires or something else? Thanks.

Congrats to the victors and congrats and thanks, too, to the track team at Amoskeag North for the excellent and well illustrated reporting. :text-bravo:

Though my #23 Renault clawed its way to an 8th place finish after starting a lowly 12th on the grid, I have to admit to being disappointed with the performance of my entry. At both tracks so far the comments from Qualifying have noted a lack of speed on the straights compared to most other cars. At 68 grams, I don't think it's particularly overweight compared to the top cars and I'm pretty sure there are no excessive frictional losses slowing it down. I'm wondering if I geared the #23 too tall at 2.67:1? If so, then maybe I can look forward to better results at upcoming tracks with longer straights... if there are any. :pray:

Or, maybe I just got a weaker motor. In which case, I have nothing to look forward to. :doh:

Any insights would be appreciated.

There is going to be a long 25 feet straight in Edmonton.

I was afraid to gear my car as far as 23... not enough torque there

Congrats to podiumites

Stewart, my car is geared 10/26,seems to be in the ballpark.
I'm using NSR ultra grips.
