Internal prep comes through the tire all the way no matter what.
Correct no heat needed, I don't believe in heat unless it's under 40° in my garage
May need to re evaluate your thinking then, because the best in the business are.
Need to go with tires with more internal or wipe the tires you have more aggressively."This isn't always the case especially around the south since our tracks peak when we qualify in the sun and race at night."
Can you expand upon this statement for what is best in the Southeast?
We seem to be decently fast in qualifying but go straight to the rear in the feature...

Also, air is usually dropped as well from qualifying to feature time.
Sorry for my terminology of deeper tires. It's only means more internal prep. Example; if ideal track conditions were 75F with a calcium race track and the ideal tire was a 75cc tire for a 20 lap main to get your best lap around lap 10 to 12 then you may use a deeper 100 to 120 tire to get the fastest lap in lap 3. This isn't always the case especially around the south since our tracks peak when we qualify in the sun and race at night.
Using pink magic how woud you prep the outside of the tire for qualifying? This is on a high bite calcium track around 5pm.
