Track Prep At National Events
 

Has anyone noticed a difference in the sportsman prep? The reason I ask is that I have noticed cars that "never spin", spin and loose the round or waist a Q run.

It will be interesting to know what is happening.

Larry, those are the cars with the Hoosier C06 tires that always hook.

I have seen all three brands have spins. I observed, Bristol race winner, Ed Jr. light up 10' out and he runs the "H" tires. I had the best seat in the house to watch Ed Jr. smoking run to the tree, I was in the water box. Seeing someone spin in front of you always gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside. It could be the reason some racers have elected to go from big block power back to a small block.

Larry, you are making some big ponies with that 440. I always stare into the stands until the cars ahead get past 330'. That helps.

Larry, I talked to a seasoned D 2 racer at the Sports and he alluded to the NEW national event track prep.....and it wasn’t good news....

Larry, My poor little 270hp 350 Corvette spun so bad at Atlanta I thought it broke something. It has a set of Hoosier ZO6s with about 25 runs on them. I never had any trouble with spinning before The first race at Charlotte last year. Bob Benders wagon was in front of me and it spun. Then the same thing happened to me. The track prep has to have changed. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Could it be another enhancement for the sportsman racer??

Just so you know, this is meant as a joke.

Being slow has it's advantages after all.......

Lawyers made them back off on the track prep. Fuel cars were going too fast (again) and they had to make them slow down.

I was surprised to see quite a few good runs by the Factory Shoot out cars at Bristol.I read somewhere about the traction compound has been cut by 30%.But I don't think that was on the starting line.
