on the buggy i always ran pro line calibers and they worked pretty good. on the SC10 we have had luck with a lot of diff ones. personally i am going to try AKA enduros or Jconcepts double D's on my 2wd. my buggy i will probably run the calibers or the Double D's. A lot of guys last year ran calibers on the sc10 and had good luck. the jconcepts subcultures are good too and work extremely well if you like to hang the back end out and slide through the turns. i love those tires on the oval.

It's really difficult to say what tires will work this summer because the new surface isn't laid down yet. The plan is to re-level the track and lay down some fresh clay which will be totally different than what's on the track now.

So basically buy some tires and hope they work?

I will say that the first day of racing we will have a good idea of what tire combination works on the track, and we will have plenty of those tires available in the shop for sale at competitive prices.

the track will definitely be short course friendly. the jumps and obstacles will be made for 8th scale and 10 scale trucks and buggys

Thanks for some fun yesterday. I was the "new guy" with the black 2wd Slash. Now I have to learn how to drive it and avoid puddles.

I was wondering if anyone was in for a enduro short course race. Something like 100 laps with pits. Maybe 2 drivers, just an idea. If anyone likes it, could you pass the idea on to the powers that be or who runs the races and see what they say.

Anything is possible. We discussed this option towards the end of last season.

Last season there was a 24 hour onroad race in Jackson, NJ. There were 7 drivers per team, car was provided as part of the entry fee, and the teams had to put together the car before the race began. Yes, it went 24 straight hours. You were expected to swap batteries, tires, drivers, whatever as you needed. And it was rain or shine.

Because the race entry included a kit, it was easy to spec a class. Do you think this should be similar, where 7 racers enter and have a kit straight out of the box (maybe give 1 hour to make tune ups?)

Lots of logistical problems, is my point.. but we have certainly considered it.

As far as an endurance race goes, as long as there are people who are interested I'm sure there is a good chance it could happen
