1.) My topic
is racing remote control cars
2.) The driving problem(no pun intended) is that when racing at a professional level, many racers will use traction additives which gives a tire more traction. It is belived to give them an advantage.The additives used will condition the rubber to become stickier and more plyable. I want to see if it really does decrease lap times and make you a better driver.

Quote: "There has been a lot of controversy lately in the industry for both onroad and offroad racers regarding the use of tire additives or traction compound. Many major organizations including most recently the BRCA, and various other national, regional, and even local level events have banned the use of these products for a variety of reasons. Racers on the other hand have their own variety of reasons that these bans are unnecessary.
Promoters and organizations often feel that the use of traction products is an unfair advantage for many, and they wish to keep things on an “even playing field” or “spec tire” level. From a racer stand point, traction compound may or may not gain you tenths of a second. If it is legal to use for everyone, is the use of it by some and not others really going to make good drivers perform great and vice versa?" -Mike Garrison, LiveRC.com
3.) If a traction addiditve is applied to all four tires, then lap times will decrease.
4.) I will conduct this experiment by gathering a number of different compounds and testing them on vehicle. I will compare them and will measure the maximum speed of the car while taking a turn. This will be measured by using a special radio reciever that calculated speed and lap times. In addition to the speed test, I will compare laptimes between conditioned and unconitioned tires.
