I find that after being in Norman, Ok , our tracks here have barely any grip at all.

The most grip I’ve ever seen in a track was 5 years ago, Canby, Oregon, PMT. The top class was running YGB tires (soft). The rubber was over 1 1/2″ thick in most corners. We were leaving tracks in it. After the race, a kid about 5 years old walked out on the track and got stuck, he couldn’t move. His older brother had to go out and pop him free.

The kids went out and picked up loose rubber and rolled it into balls the size of softballs and started throwing them at each other. Talk about pain.

Colorado tracks have never seen high grip, moderate at best.
