Chris Freader (RRCC):You have had quite a dominating year with your TC3 on asphalt and rubber tires, how has the transition been to foam tires and carpet been?
Barry Baker: Its not really a transition. The car is really great and we have Mike Blackstock who helps with setup and stuff like that. So everyone pretty much gets on the same page pretty soon and gets everyone up to speed. If not, everyone has been trying a lot of different setups. There are certain setups that work, but I don’t think anyone is coming in with the exact same setup because every driving style is different. Going from asphalt to carpet you just have to learn that everything just reacts a lot faster. There is not as much tire slide in the corners. So if you start your turn early you will end up in the boards.
