As a longtime supporter of the Puskar brothers and dealer for G-Loc Brakes, we sell a huge variety of compounds and shapes. One of the most common questions is "what compound should I use?" and answering that question is difficult at best.

VIR SCCA Super Tour April 11-14, 2019 Thursday morning one of the Honda Fits I brought to VIR belonging to Kent Carter blew the motor, and he drove around North Carolina and Virginia searching for a donor engine and a new radiator, having holed it in an incident at Road Atlanta 3 weeks prior. David Daughtery, John Phillips, Willie Keeling and I finished the swap and got the car running after a delicious pizza dinner thanks to Diane Carter.
