When I raced an Optima Mid 20+years ago,one venue had a carpet-
polished wood mixed surface(it was a works club IIRC).
No roll bars,softer springs and oil all round.
Tyres were the stock Bridgestones(only time I used 'em,otherwise it was CAT pins).
Motor was a 21t running a 20t pinion
The trick I used when coming off the carpet onto the polished wood(it was a long left sweeping curve)was to brake on the carpet,go onto the wood into
a "Finnish Flick" and nail the throttle to hold a long 4 wheel drift through the
curve.
It would just set you up right to go back onto the carpet in a staright line
with full power on.
