So we’ve raced 7 Red Plate races. We’re quick, but it’s still red plate so I can’t really base that on much.
I’m struggling to understand the track and tires.
So we wipe prep on weekly, and sometimes at the track. Does the prep burn off?
My tire chemical guy said to wipe Tuesday and Thursday, then after each run. Then a guy told me at a race not to wipe my tires, he said he won the last two races at that track and pointed out the dust kicking up off the track. He said just clean them and let them dry.
The next race a friend has me wiping some sort of “bite” in the tire
I still pretty confused on what is grip from soft tires and what exactly “Bite” so that we wipe on chemically.
Little man just jumps off the kart and
says “It’s Good”.
I will say no one has steered us wrong, all advice has improved performance. I just don’t seem to see the things they’re seeing. All I’ve seemed to figure out is track works in, we go up in air pressure.
I’ve heard you can get too much prep in a tire and make it slow
