Joe,

DO NOT USE IT FOR ROAD RACING!  I tried it and Bryan is right.  It does work on the tires, but as soon as they heat up they're VERY slippery.  You'll get 2 laps out of them and they'll peak then fall off badly.  Never mind the fact that it works by eating the rubber. 

To quote Jay, "The best improvement you can make to your car is a new set of tires."  He wasn't lying.........

   Hi Joe,

    We  run Hoosiers for Solo II and consistantly run Formula V. I really
   like the

   the  results  and  it does make a considerable difference in grip. The
   thing

   we have noticed is that if your running a two driver car you may begin

   to see some fade in the latter runs.

    Anouther  caution is to rotate your tires as you are treating them. I
   have

   experienced a very large out of balance condition from treating on the

   car and not rotating in the past.

    Treat'em and hang on!
