Wax Call for Sugar Bowl GS 4-15-12
For Tahoe spring races, there are some consistent tricks for speed. Our Spring snow changes from 1st run to second run; and there is dirt, oil, tree sap as well as pollen mixed into the snow. We are also dealing with some dusting's of new snow. You will need to use some form of antistat to keep the dirt, oil and tree sap from adhering to your wax mix. Graphite plays a key role in the performance of your antistat thus why we also carry high fluoro graphite to use as an additive to any base wax. The best is Start Haus Warm Antistat by Dominator or Dominator FG88 or SRB32. These should be rubbed on the dry base before you iron your wax in. It is also effective to mix these antistats with your overlay to help repel dirt.

- Dominator - Race Zoom Old Snow/SRB32 or HF Pink/SRB32 50/50 Mix
