Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
Amazing that the Pro Stockers said, " naw, we don't care what you say about the track, we're not racing on it right now"....is this unprecedented or just more fallout from the Phoenix fiasco this year?
Maybe we should say, "naw, we're not running at 8:00 on a cold track or after alcohol", yea right...

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
I was watching on espn3.com and Anderson was interviewed and he said that NHRA had decided not to spray the track past the 1,000' mark... The first two pairs were out of shape and that's when they stopped round 1... They just finished the round so they must have gotten it sprayed....

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
The reason they don't spray past 1000' is that it supposedly makes the fuel cars chunk tires when they shut down.
My question is do they spray past 1000' during qualifying? Why weren't they having trouble then? |

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
Perhaps everyone should read the Pro driver reactions....Graham Light's reaction is similar to a certain division director's remarks when stockers were hesitant to go out on a very cold track at one of the Divisional races....."go race on it or go home; I don't care".... This attitude combined with racers with heads outside the cage checking their opponent, untightened belts and such ultimately spells disaster.
