Remarks – Current National Champion Ty Tessmann is also running a stiffer car compared to when he last run the car at the Reedy race. Both cars are set with less pack in the shocks, changing from 2 holes to 4 holes and running a heavier oil. Having run a number of tires earlier in practice Ty has settled on the new Transistor fronts and Suburb VTR in XT compound on both his cars, liking the precise feel which is very consistent. On his 4wd he has mounted the rear wing in its lowest position for less roll while on the 2wd prototype, which is made up of a Centro rear end and a Kyosho front end, he is now using an aluminium chassis plate in place of the standard carbon version because it is stiffer helping to reduce the car’s overall grip and what is such a grippy surface.
