LS1 is mainly used as an internal prep for summertime racing. You should see a 2 point drop per ounce. A good starting point for internal use is 2 oz. in your right-sides and LF and 1oz. in your LR. LS1 should be rolled at room temp for 24 hrs. for proper curing. If you feel the track is producing enough bite to have an unrolled tire, wipe 3-5 coats of LS1 during the week, leaving plenty of drying time between coats. Use LS1 at the track straight for bite or for just a little more bite or night time racing mix 50/50 with LS2

LS2 in mainly used as an external conditioner during the week or at the track for medium bite. You should see a 2-3 point drop per every 5 minutes in a pan or every 5 wipes. LS2 should be rolled in a pan at 80-90 degrees or if wiping tires heat tires to 85-90 degrees or sit in sunlight. Use LS2 at the track for bite, works awesome in spring and fall racing, or when clouds appear. If you feel LS2 is giving too much bite, mix 50/50 with LS1, or if you feel like you need more bite (nighttime racing) mix 50/50 with LS3

LS3 is mainly used as an internal prep for wintertime and indoor racing. You should see a 3-4 point durometer drop per ounce. A good starting point for internal use is 4 oz. in your right sides and LF and 2 oz. in your LR. LS3 should be rolled at 100 degrees for 24 hrs. for proper curing. We do not recommend rolling tires with LS3 in a pan, be careful, it is easy to get your tires too soft.

LS4 is mainly used as an external trackside prep for wet, lower bite tracks. It builds a ton of bite while softening. You should see a 4-5 point durometer drop for every 5 wipes. When wiping LS4 heat tires to 85-90 degrees or sit in sunlight. Works well in late fall and winter indoor racing. We do not recommend rolling tires with LS4 in a pan as it is mainly a trackside prep for sloppy conditions. If you feel LS4 is giving too much bite, mix 50/50 with LS3.

This will work best for hard biting, calcium tracks especially during the warmer months. Produces a good "feel" while maintaining a consistent duro allowing the kart to fire off and produce consistent lap times throughout the run. Best suited for tires duro in the range 55 and above

$25/qt

Best used on tracks that produce less bite either through a tacky condition or a medium to severe dry slick condition. Follow the same application method for the medium base as you would for the hard base. The durometer best suited for medium base is 45-55

Just as the name says this is a all-purpose wipe for all hard biting, abrasive day time track conditions. Will not change the duro of the tire unless wiped excessively, but will help fire the tire when a small amount of bite is needed. Wipe with no heat for a few laps of bite w/ no duro change, wipe with heat to drive the chemical deeper in the tire building more overall grip in the tire and changing the durometer a few pts. When the tracks during the day start dropping off a few tenths and you need to add more surface grip to the tire look to the trackside dry/fire for something more aggressive that will give the tire a ton of bite but will not lock you down. TSH will come back out of the tires returning them back to normal so re-application is necessary after the tires have been run. If you’re looking for something to build bite in the tire that will last in the tire and offer more bite and more duro drop than the TSH look the TSM and follow those directions

Best used for all mild/medium dry slick conditions for day or night time races. Used on tires duro in the range of 46-55. This is a wipe as more bite is needed prep. There is no set amount of times to wipe as no one track condition is the same. Keep in mind, wipe with no heat for less duro affect and more surface only bite, wipe with heat for more laps of bite, more duro affect, this allows the chemical to go deeper in the tire allowing the kart to re-fire after cautions and keeping the kart more consistent in lower bite situations. When used with heat expect a 3-5 pt duro drop when wiped 4 or more times, but the prep will come back out of the tires returning them mostly back to normal so re-application is necessary after the tires are run

TSSL works best when the track surface is hard, but has zero grip from a variety of situations including when the tracks get slick on top from the dew setting, moisture coming back up in the track surface or a track that is calcium slick, basically any track condition that has moisture present but is not considered a wet track, this will work very well on. Keep in mind that TSSL will not come out of the tires and can be used with or without heat. Just like with all of the other trackside preps, when used with heat expect the bite to go deeper and the duro drop to be more as well. When used with no heat it will act as a real aggressive firing agent to get the tires going and will provide very little duro drop and will dissipate much quicker off the surface. Use either of those methods depending on how slick the track conditions are and how much bite you are needing. Expect a 4-10pt drop depending on which method you choose and can be used on top of any base to provide mild softening and a ton a bite

Used in all low grip wet track applications. Provides a larger duro drop than the TSSL providing ultimate grip for all low bite situations. Best used with heat such as tire warmers or heat box, apply heavy coats to the tire, expect a 5-15 pt drop depending on how many coats that are applied. Best used on tires that duro 45 and less and keep in mind this will not come out of the tires

This is a very unique treatment. TSDF will not soften the tires nor will it stay in the tire. No matter how many times you wipe you will only be adding more laps of bite. Used in all lite dry slick conditions or times where you are looking for the tires to fire immediately. Wipe lighter coats with no heat for bite that will last 2-3 laps and wipe heavier coats with heat for bite to last up to 8 laps. Keep in mind that the compound of the tire that you choose is very critical. TSDF will come back out of the tire completely returning the tire back to normal. It will not build any lasting bite making it very effective to use during day races to fire the tires off but in the same token if the compound that you choose to apply TSDF to is to hard underneath when its gone the tire will be to hard to produce bite and will work as if there was never nothing applied at all

Krug’s Green is solely used as an external trackside prep for low-bite conditions. Green is a very versatile prep, so it can be used during low-bite, dusty dry-slick conditions or extremely wet conditions. Green provides a ton of bite while softening. We do not recommend any through-the-week use of Krug’s Green, as it can easily soften your tires too much. If you feel that Green is providing too much bite, you may cut it back with acrysol

Goat Pee is solely used as an external trackside prep for extremely wet low-bite conditions. Goat pee provides a ton of bite while softening. We do not recommend any through-the-week use of goat pee, as it can easily soften your tires too much. If you feel Goat Pee is providing too much bite, we recommend switching to a less aggressive prep
