Randy is one of my favorite people that I have ever met in racing. If you can describe your track you race at to him he will get you what you need to win. Chris is the same way and great explaining what you need over the ph and in person.
If you are new to prep or have a limited supply of tires start with at2. If you have a old set of tires use those to hone in your prepping skill's. You can get a tire softer but you will never get a prepped tire back harder.
On track tac's web page it explain's what each prep will and can do. Thank's Ben on a well documented show
Hey Ben can you do a video talking about the different types of track surfaces and go more in depth about the surfaces so we have a better understanding of what we newbies are to be looking for? I think we all can kind of guess what dry and dusty look like but it's those other surfaces that can be tricky if you don't know what you're looking for.
Great video Ben, im new to the game of prepping tires. Im a disabled Delawarian and my stepson is running the kart i recently bought. I wrote down the different preps you personally use. Im fully aware figuring this out is a science like anything else but im willing to learn as i go. Thanks for sharing this video and tutorial abt preps and the basics of it. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA
Man crazy how times changed. Used some red stuff no name 12 bucks a windex bottle to Burris qualifier or the tire softener from Burris. Back when fuel was 2.50 to 3.50 a gallon. alcohol
Ben, love the video, my first year karting and learned a lot from your videos, my son won his first race a couple weeks ago, question. We run yellow vegas and the only prep im doing is trac tac orange on Wednesday and at the track between runs and this has worked well for the 1/8th mile flat oval we run, the temps are getting into the 50s now at night, should i switch to sqs or keep everything the same. Im in middle tennesee. Thansk
Hey Ben, using Black Sand for this weekend on Maxxis slicks. What prep do you recommend to drop duro along with Black Sand. Our track is always dry slick. Thanks!
What is I've got a set of Maxxis red and they have got all the Rubber still on the tire but they are probably about 5 years old. Should I just throw them away? They have been sitting for about 5 years
