Hi, this looks great. Suggest you post something in the mid-west section of oople too? More chance of local racers seeing it. I barely look at this part of the forum. Hope to come along at some point.

/tobys · #20 10-02-2015

what tyres are most people using here? mini pins? or slicks? or foams? if the latter 2, any additive?
