Better grip on the floor

I have a tip for you all.

When running all sorts of microcars on the floor you soon get a lot of dust on the wheels. A way of improving the grip is to put a wet piece of paper on the floor. When the car starts spinning just run over the wet paper and you get very good grip. This works on vinylfloors and woodflors.. I have not tried other surfaces...

I use a q-tip and alcohol. Plus if you clean floor with windex surface cleaner (I have a hardwood floor track) before each use your tires stay way cleaner.

Come on man. He's not telling us to drive it in a river...lol
That's a fantastic idea. Just put it in the pit area and one swipe over the towel is the same as the burnout before a drag race.
