Good to see Sheldon getting some desert experience . He's been great in SST and AWESOME in TORC . I talked to him at Crandon and he said he loves doing the SST series .

Another question! What's the difference & advantage to using short course tires? I'm getting there, soon I'll be able to contribute rather than just ask questions!!

Basically I think it has something to do with lower center of gravity and the tires having a shorter , stiffer sidewall . That gives the truck the ability to handle the turns better and not be so top heavy . Am I close here guys ? Mind you I'm basing this on RC technology but physics should be physics I'd think .
