lubrication help
My son finished 2nd in the area race and he gets to go to an inter-area race where they race as a team against 3 other areas. The format is head to head so he will have to race 30 times total. We have been told they are not allowed to use oil as they are worried about it staining the track. We used hob-e-lube for his pack and area race with much success. Any way to make graphite last longer?

Re: lubrication help
It is not clear whether your rule is "no oil" v. "graphite only", but if it qualifies within your rules, Sporty reports great longevity with Coach's Secret Lube.

Thanks for the tip. We were just told no oil, have not been given any other rules. Assuming the rest of the area rules apply with this exception as there were no restrictions on lubes for that race. Race is this weekend so I don't think that will get to me.

My son won 28 out of 30 races. Two loses were in the last 12 races and by .0002 and .0004 seconds. His team finished in 3rd by 10 wins 1 win behind second place.

Re: lubrication help
This sounds like an interesting format. Can you share more about how they handled this format?
