i have been watching this and I am going to say this,when we ran q-midgets I ran treaded tires my friend ran dirt slicks. When his son was asked which car he liked to run he picked mine because he could move up the track and not spin out. Slicks are fine as long as you run the part that is pack,but move out of the groove and spin out. Tracks are hard,they are not tore up from week to week they just water it and race. SoCo tire the types of racing you metion is all asphalt. thank you for listening to my ranting.
