How do I tell the track conditions?
I just went to my local track for the first time with my T4. The rear tires were the stock ones, and never used, but the stock front ones were run at least 7 times, mostly on concrete, so they were worn down a lot. When i went to drive around, i was spinning out all the time when there were sharp turns. I was to shy to ask what tires work best, and i did not know how to tell if it was: dry, wet, clay-type, etc. So how do I tell? Thanks. (Below is the link to the track's website incase it helps)

Definitively clay, looks ABRASIVE also [>:]. You will want a tiny pin tire rear, as for front not sure. And don't feel embarrassed to ask at the track, ive done it a lot and, most of the guys, tend to be more than willing to help. If the track owner knows his stuff, he should easily be able to tell you what works after watching a ton of guys run on there, I am jealous of how nice it is [8D]

Hi dude, if your to embarrassed to ask what type of tread you'll be needing just take a quick look at the fast guys and see what they are using. (Do it James Bond style and take quick photos with your phone and study the photos).
