Thanks Barney,

My Red Devil can always use some lotion being burned and all that
it use to be White Devil
Be careful as it maybe a bit or two bits sensitive....


Mill,

That is very nice of you, thank you.

Appreciated

Thanks Mill,
Very thoughtful, you are the first to offer a race prize.

[Jairus]

Thank you Mill!


As for application, last I heard the track at BP was pretty sticky. Do we really need anything on the tires?

[HarV Wallbanger III]

Nothing will be put on if the car does not need it guys.

[The Bugman]

hey gents,,,,,,i can tell you all that either Barneys or Mill's tire treatment are wayyyyyyyyy
better than ZIPGRIP,,ive used both,,and tho im partial to Barn's stuff,,both will work excellent,
on our Gerding which doesnt need a lot of extra traction,,,,,,all the cars will handle,,,ohhhhh
sooooooooooo much better with either
thx to both Mill & Barn,for their generous offer,,,,
glad all the cars ceptin' Al's are here safe and sound,,,,,,,and if this Proxy race is even 1/2 as good
as the DYNAMIC RACES,we got ONE HELLUVA RACE comin up on the 20th,
with some of the best slotcar drivers,,ON THE PLANET,,,giving our cars another excellent race
like Mr Tragni just did at Eddie's
good luck to everyone involved,,,,,

Thank you Mill!

Mr J.,"a little dab will do ya" (can you remember what OLD TV commercial that line came from,,,lol)
yes even on our Gerding either tire treatment will be excellent,and improve the grip,,"just enuff"

NO WE CANT ! !

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. . .

re:BlueMajik, I used this stuff at Eddies in the enduro and ended up with only .030 tire wear after the 4 hours. This was on wonder rubber.

[Jaak]

I am not sure if it is possible but as a newbie builder i would love to get feedback on how it drives from the drivers,
it is my first self build 1:24 chassis and i had no track to test it.
Lucky for me Steve helped me by testing it for me and sorting out some problems.
But i love to know if the back is loose or the front is light or heavy etc etc,

If i can get some feedback on handling i will learn how to improve.
Thanks in advance

[Jaak]

Yes love negative feedback too, maybe prefer it so that i know what is wrong

[Gator Bob]

Yes Bob......

Seeing the label sez ' Not for Human Use'.

Just wondering if it is PETA friendly and that YOU did not test it on animals.

[Gator Bob]

Yes love negative feedback too, maybe prefer it so that i know what is wrong

Jaak, Here is some' feedback - people get paid to write a book

[Pablo]

Jaaak, respectfuly, just try and copy what Tony P does. Instead of making a 1969 style. Tony follows the rules and makes a fast car.

[Jaak]

Tony,

Need moar pics of your chassis please....

Paul's fault


Did not know it was a 69 st...i mean 1969 style chassis, i made what seemed to me one that was light and weighty at the right places,
how will i ever beat Tony and you all if i just copy



Bob,

Very true, and others just talk about it...

*ducks and runs for cover*

[tonyp]

I'll see what I have. It is pretty simple and could have been built back then. I made it heavier be ause we were racing on king tracks where you spend more. Times in the corners than on the straight. I went for drivability rather than pure speed. Most of the drivers I assume had to drive the cars cold with no practice.

[Jaak]

Thanks Tony,

much appreciated.

I think you where right in doing it that way,
already know that my brass wire sides should have been piano wire to give it some strength,
then again if it does not crash hard i got away with it...
*knocks on untreated wood*

[redbackspyder]

Well, Blue Magic or Majik is not tested on animals, only on prison inmates !!!! Not only does it work on all types of tires, untreated - treated- Wonder-Thunder, it also is fantastic for applying to windshield wiper blades that have aged, take a little between your fingers, wipe the length of the blade, wait 15 seconds then wipe completely off and repeat. It will bring back to life the wiper blades and stop the skipping on the windshield... The Secrets in the Blue !!!! Look for Red Magic this Holiday Season, and the new Travel Magic that is to apply to tires after you race, to keep the rubber soft between races and for storage......

[Gator Bob]

Never believe, it's not so.

[boxerdog]

I'm kind of curious, never having raced at either track, how they might compare as far as prep, bite, etc. I'm sure there are a few that have run recently at both venues??? What might we look for down at BPR? The pics made it look like Eddie's was pretty well rubbered up. I am in the process of kicking myself for not driving over there to test. Any insight out there?

[One_Track_Mind]

Thank you! Mill, a very gracious offer from you.

If? We end up liking this product as well as you say it works? Will it be available for purchase once the 'free' stuff runs out?

Thanks again.

[redbackspyder]

Yes, just PM me.....

[HarV Wallbanger III]

Any one can make their their own Love Lotion.

Here is the "Top Secret" formula...... It's like cooking you can vary the mix on the Suntan Lotion and Wintergreen oil but I do not vary the P/S fluid because it will make it too thin. The P/S fluid has different rubber conditioners in it and this is why I use it.

70-85% suntan lotion that should be SPF 50 or greater 70 and higher is out there.
15-20% Food grade wintergreen oil ( I get my Rite Aid Pharmacy to order it)
5% Just about any brand Power steering fluid w/stop leak ( I had Prestone around)

Wash your hands after you use it. And NO, despite the name, DO NOT USE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE!

All you do is clean the tires with it. Squeeze a small amount on the tires work it in all around then wipe it all off with a cotton shop cloth. You can leave it on overnight but re-clean the tires again before you run them and wipe it off.
You should never leave anything on the track but rubber! This is not glue.
Enjoy!

Ask Oscar how it brought back his hard and dry 60's rubber!

[The Bugman]

Ask Oscar how it brought back his hard and dry 60's rubber!

it did,i brought back rubber that was from the 60's on my Dynamic Proxy car,it took about
4-5 applications and let it soak in,but i gotta admit,that at first i used ZIPGRIP and let it soak too,
but it didnt give enuff grip,but seeing as i had LL,i tried it too,and used it all during my tests at BP
2 tracks (King & Flatster),worked for me,,that's what i use these days,,
