when i was looking for the flooring material for my track i was originally planning to use Ozite carpet but then the amount of tire compound i had to keep using was insane, plus the tires start loosing grip after a while in the middle of the run. i hated the inconsistency. i decided to run more of a rubberized liner which acts like asphalt.

as u stated, with about a min's drive (with no tire compound) the tires warm up and grip very well given that i run the right compound.

but only downside is that the tires wear and i have a lot of black tire dust which i need to vac on a weekly basis.
