    Hello dear friends,
    We are trying to get dragracing going in Belgium. Probably you have read a post by Danny from the Dannycars racing team on this board. It is the only Belgian dragracing team and they drive a methanol funny car...
    End of September we will be having our first race here in Belgium, and of course, we start with a virgin track, no rubber on it yet.

    I am looking for a good source to buy VHT trackbite and used dragracing slicks to put rubber on the track. I will be needing dozens of them I guess, and since dragracing is not that common in Europe, used tires are hard to get...

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thanks a lot,

    Erwin

    traction compound

    for what its worth. look on VPs website. they have the lanechoice. and are worldwide. try them at www.vpracingfuels.com or try there eastcoast office e-mail vphq@aol.com they also have the information on how to properly apply the stuff. they will take care of you.
    I sell vp products in the northwest. the lane choice is alittle cheaper than the vht. not that much is cheap when shipped over seas. good luck. mark

    Erwin; many reps from other countries work a deal with Goodyear at the US races for their take-offs, but someone has to pick them up at the track, then they are used as packing material around cars in the container. Head for Mantorp next week and start asking...
