CS Electronic have released this side wall protection glue for use with both indoor and outdoor foam tires. Simply apply the glue into the pores of the side wall of your tire and it will create a thin flexible protective layer that will help to prevent chunking from hitting kerbs and other drivers.

Xray have a report from the second round of the Norwegian National Cup that was held recently on a 600m2 track with sharp turns and high grip in Spydeberg. The 19T touring class saw Truls Solberg take the TQ ahead of Markus Alvestad in 2nd and 13 year old Petter Berntsen in 3rd. In the finals, Truls took the win in the first 2 finals, but he forgot to marshall after the 2nd final and had his result nulled and in the 3rd final he had problems, so he ended the race in 5th leaving Markus Alvestad to take his first win from Knut E Enger in 2nd and Petter Berntsen in 3rd. In the modified touring class Adrian Berntsen took the pole position from Helge Johannessen in 2nd and Georg Ellingsen in 3rd. After a problem in final 1, Johannessen managed to take the win in the 2nd and 3rd finals to take the overall win with Adrian Bernsten finishing 2nd and Petter Solvberg 3rd.
