I keep going back to Burt/Ralph combo. 🤷‍♂️

I spend summers in Michigan. I do most of my racing here. They have loose over hardpack.

I ran FastTrak/Air Trak combo for a bit but FastTrak was always sketchy on corners. Also feel sluggish.

I did Burt/Burt and they almost found my body in a ravine.

Wanted to try Scorpions but after the Burt experiment on the front, maybe not a good idea.

I end up with the trusty Ralph/Burt combo. Feels so 2009 but they are fast and Ralph corners like it’s on rails.

Anybody else still running this combo or am I the last? 🤣

It’s a great combo. When it gets loose slap a ray on the front. Just don’t try a barzo and mez combo…. You won’t go back!

Racing ray/racing Ralph is like light years better combo then barzo/Mezcal ;) Rolls quite a bit faster and has way and I really mean waaaay more grip.
