Ready to kick off a great outdoor season, Sweep Racing USA have announced that 2009 ROAR National champion Mike Haynes has joined their national level team. Having great success in the past in rubber tire classes he will have a very important roll on the team, helping drivers & customers with setup and rubber tire fundamentals, along with testing and development the latest product before production. Mike has already begun running for Sweep since last month and had this to say.
After having the opportunity to test out these tires i am very excited to be helping promote the brand within the US. The tires run very consistently run to run and in rubber tire racing this is key! Many tires are fast for a couple of runs but the Sweeps seem to be fast for many.

Sweep Racing have announced that their all new Exagon tires had a great first outing on the 2010 IFMAR Pre Worlds with local privateer Champ Khunthin taking 4th. These tires were the results of running at the Buggy Party race in Pattaya Beach back in December. The pattern features dual step hexagon pins for maximum forward traction, best cornering speeds and the most on-power steering possible. Unlike other past tires, EXP Exagon incorporates “EXP Cavity” into the tire design, which give the tires wider and flatter tread on the terrain. They also incorporate the side wall beads for a quicker response. You can also trim these beads and the outer edge pins to control the side bite. Sweep also went to the RC Mania track located near Bangkok which is well known for their rough surface and ran for 90 minutes and found the pattern remained in good condition unlike other brands. They pushed it even further by mounting the same set of tires to the EXP Factory Pilot Ryan Lee’s machine to participate in a control practice race. His times were better than that of other drivers with brand new tires. Available in soft (red) and extra soft (blue) compound and pre glued on white or yellow wheels.
