I no tire expert but sounds like too soft of a compound,,youll be superman for about 5 laps then fall off fast..if you can run burris 44s maybe try them..hopefully this will help Good Luck..
 
one more thing if its a goat pee track,, Then no matter how you prep them its not gonna be strong enough to cut threw the goat to get into the track.. if everyones on goat better get ya a can,,
 
Typically K3 requires little to no prep. Are you running day time races or night races? If you would like you can give me a call.
 
Let Chris (ch3racing) get you going, he knows what he's talking about and if anyone can help its him
 
Get some pink 9.00's. It's an open tire track..... The pinks or the new 40 hoosier is a lot faster than the 33's there. That was proven this past weekend. I'd recommend a non rolled internal 33 tire punching 50-52. Wiped once a day through the week leading up to race day. Are you running the same set of tires through the heats and features as well?
 
Agree, Buddy.

We prep every week. Most nights a pretty aggressive prep at the track.

Bob,
We're there all the time - just ask, I'd be glad to help you. Dustin would be good to work with as well, I'm sure.
Give us a call if I can help or talk to me at the track.
