How many shops are normally track side and do they stock the wet tyre?

only one shop trackside usually, and last year the tyres they sold were all dry when you bought them.

why would they keep tyres wet?

Thanks mate,
Have you been down the track again today? hows the weather?

Body Paint

Been at the track all afternoon, it's been absolutely scorching, 28-29 degrees in the shade and if you stepped into the sunlight it was like a blow torch pointing at you. Willy marshalled a car and came back to the pits and said "the tyres on that car were actually hot:eh?:"

Absolutely no grip at all today, track was mega dusty and too hot to give any traction. I was running pins on the front of the 2wd at one point today:o

Weather is looking like turning for the worse wednesday and thursday and clear friday with showers forecast for saturday, apparently the track is gripiest after it has been cleaned by the rain, it is amazing how much dust was coming off the track today, my car, and me were filthy after practice today.

We need reverse tyre warmers!

I wonder if the old yellow compound tyres might work better when it's blowtochingly hot...

have you ever tryed losi tyres Elvo?

Body Paint

Apparently pink pins work in the wet and greens in the damp, just like Kiddy so I bet losi's would be spot on a roasty hot track
