A worth while upgrade would be to get a set of sticky tires (slicks). The
one pass I made against you your 60' was terrible. If that thing wouldn't
spin so bad, you would be amazed at how much it pics up. If you don't wanna
go that route, you could try cal-tracs, or even slap on a set of lakewood
traction bars for $30.

one of those ideas has gotta help
