Do you have pictures? And what HO cars do you run? I see that some take the magnets off the cars and replace them with brass like on 440X2.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Bye the way Ken, there is no reason to replace any mags, because there is nothing on the track that is Magnetic, so no problem, just lighten your springs and your good to go!

Paul, I'm not an HO racer, just inquisitive. Is there any one brand/type of rear tires that seems to work best on this track or is there a variety of different ones being run? Thanks!

Tires!!! Yes it seems of course the capped foam with silicone is the best, but for our entry class silicon slipons seem to last longer per race time! Thanks for your question! Regards paul
