Do road tyres heat up as quick as slicks?

Well said mate. Race preperation is 95% of the true battle

+1, fully agree

Sorry dude i'll qualify that--With a lighter/slower bike such as a 400 f3 bike or a clubmans bike. Tyres seem to cool from what I've seen
Im pretty sure thats why the F2 guys tried running front wets at Taupo in the dry

I've no experience on smaller bikes. Thinking about it, you have a valid point.

And yes, Get tyre warmers, they are a lot cheaper than repair bills and broken body parts

Hey Tom I have a bit of pipe that is bent into shape for a race stand, it just needs some wheels and some sort of fittings to attach to the swing arm if you want it.

I feel rider confidence and state of mind counts for a lot too.
