If the durface is mostly grippy, and only dusty off the racing line then go for holeshots. If it's very slippery, then go for bowties, or even snakeeyes for extremely slippery surfaces.
As for onroad with a B4... nobody makes slicks that I know of, so hey, just use bald bowties after you've worn them out on the track!
for the st ives track use bowties. they rarely sweep the track and it therefor always has a blanket of dust and dirt. the bowties are quite chunky and are able to bite through the dust/dirt and hit the actual surface.
also, have you been to the off road track in Ryde? its at Blenheim Park, Blenheim Road i think it is. this track is just bloody awesome. they race on weekends, alternating between sat evenings and sunday mornings so check their website to see which day it is this weekend. www.sydneyrc.com - a really good track, a really good setup.
