Here we go again!! The second practice day was a long day with a lot of testing. The traction has increased big time, the grey carpet got all black. Due to this, lots of racers have problems with traction rolling and lifting wheels, even in the rubber classes too much grip is an issue.
Serpents top foam drivers Jeff Cuffs and Jared Scott are looking good on the track with their S400s. Their experience in foam Touring also helped the others on the team finding a reasonable set-up. Thanks Jeff and Jared, good work!!
Tire choice at the right time seems to be the key, hopefully we get it sorted...
