The marker is pretty much spot on, thats the parking lot we meet at. Its a big round parking lot, with a historical marker sign.

Ben, its a mix of 2.2's and supers. Most everyone who has a super, also has a 2.2. There are almost always more 2.2's then there are supers.

Josh, the stock axials do very well, I would recomend getting different tires though. The kit tires are not sticky enough.

hey Etyper have u ever tried to flame the tires ? we do it in racing u put the tire on the rim and spin it on a screwdriver spary it with motor spray and light it it will burn off the factory coating and soften up the tire for better traction.
