For Heat 1 I went with my practice tires (JC front and Pro-Line rear slicks) since I was able to get around the track ok. Maybe with a little push? So I sauced the front and rear tires the full width and called it good. The track was freshly blown off and misted so I figured it would be fine since I was in the 1st heat of the round. I finished in 3rd with a 15:05, fast lap of 18.996, and consistency of 94.63%. The video shows that I made 7 mistakes which slowed me down and crashed 3 times.
For Heat 2 I stayed on the same tires. But I think the track wasn't watered as much and dried off? I went faster overall, but that was due to better consistency, since my fast lap slowed slightly. The guys in front of me went a lot faster though, and a car behind me went a lap faster?! I finished 4th time time with a 15:00, fast lap of 19.146, and higher consistency of 96.36%. This time I made 7 mistakes again which slowed me down but at least I only crashed 2 twice?
I would end up qualifying 4th of 8 cars. I decided to switch to my Dirt Webs/Ellipse tread tires for the main, as I think the track was drying out and becoming dusty, as the dust was not blow off between races. I crash into the wall on the landing of the step down on the 2nd lap and lose touch with the top 3 cars. For the rest of the race I fight off the car behind me, but I end up making 6 driving mistakes and crash a total of 6 times! This prevents me from improving on my starting position and I finish in 4th with a 16:21, fast lap of 18.646, and consistency of 93.72%. I guess the tread on my tires helped as my fast lap improved by half a second!
