Racing 739 is banned from sanctioned Olympic, World Cup, and professional racing events only. It is completely legal for recreational skiing, snowboarding, club racing, and any non-sanctioned competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply Racing 739?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron Racing 739 onto your base at medium temperature (around 120–130°C).
