thanks

Good deal.. you're right that the track surface plays a big part, having it clean is important since tires can't grip to loose dirt and sand. The hard part of these tests is trying to make the before and after conditions as close as possible.

Sounds like you tried to conduct the tests as fairly as possible. Good job!
