Tires
We are going with Gravity RC tires.
I have been in contact with Paul through out the summer .
He made a running improvement in the durability of the tire.
Paul is a valuable and ethical resource for our hobby industry , highlighted by his commitment to drive tires from his house to last years Winter Warrior race overnight so we would have them for our race and he was glueing tires on site.
He has addressed the supply challenge of last year as well. I have confidence in our selection to remain loyal to Paul. I have also confirmed the availability of the USGT motor we will use in LMH.
The tires you can feel are more robust especially at the bead area. The feedback from top drivers across the country is positive as well.
We will have them available at the track
If you have gravity tires left over from last year please feel free to run them during our opening month of October , once we get into our signature races the improved batch will be the spec tire.
With improvements and time , costs do go up as well. These tires are lasting longer than the previous batch , Most other tracks have migrated to the $40 price-point for tires , we held off for 2 years , but we will have to go there this year.
Season Pass members will enjoy a discount for tires as well like in years past. So if you are good at math and looking at the value of the season pass consider the tire cost and the season pass tire rate being $30. Also I will need to monitor season pass guys buying tires for non season pass folks .. no reindeer games please.
