I am running graphite for my kids scout race. I am ready to tune the car and will use a track to help tune the car. I have read that the graphite will last about 15 runs without degradation. Assuming I may take 15 runs to tune the car. What should i do re-prep the car for race day? The race is about two weeks away.
Graphite - What to do to re-prep after tuning runs?

You can add graphite the night before or on race day, box up the car and your good to go. Good Luck!
The biggest key with graphite is burnishing the wheel bores. Once you do that, adding some graphite after you tune will help. Just make sure every time you add graphite, spin your wheels a lot. You dont want loose graphite hanging around. It shouldn't take you 15 runs to tune though. Set your steer at 4" over 4' and go from there.
Are there any webdstes showing how to burnish the graphite in the wheel bore? Or where I can buy sone stalks? Thanks

You put the graphite on the qtip stalk and in the wheel bore and slowly run it in with a drill. Use a piece of sand paper to sand the qtip down to a slight friction fit in the bore first. This is the website. It's a peice of cake.
