JR Mitch does double at FSS season opener

This year’s Florida State Series started off at the historic Lake Park in Lutz, Florida (Tampa) recently. Over one hundred of the fastest racers in Florida, came out to start the quest of being crowned this year’s Florida State Champion. JConcepts Team driver JR Mitch was in attendance and was surely one of the favorites this year. You wouldn’t be able to find better weather or track conditions anywhere in the country. With the hot Florida sun beating down on the track, a black groove quickly formed on the track, with more traction then you could ask for. The track crew at Lake Park threw a few curve balls at the drivers, with some tight off camber turns and a huge table top in front of the drivers stand.

Pro-Line Suburbs 1/8th scale tires

Having sent us a sneak peek of their new Suburbs 3 weeks ago, Pro-Line have now released these new 1/8th scale tires. Available in Pro-Line’s proprietary M3 (Soft) and MC (Clay) compounds, it makes sense that the popular indoor and blue groove tread pattern would be made available for the 1/8th class. Featuring an inner and outer radius rib tread for increased corner holding and predictable side-bite, the internal sidewall ribbing maintains sidewall structure in extreme traction conditions for greater corner control. The tread height is predictable, aggressive, and long-lasting for use on a variety of blue-groove track and surfaces where you would typically run soft compound tires and the tires are supplied with re-usable Closed Cell foam inserts.
