The Stock Eliminator qualifying sheet shows the first 20 cars 1.00 second or more under the old index...

How bad a condition is that?

Could the problem be VP traction compound, 1000' runs and most of all NHRA???

Maybe it is time to cut the PRO's loose and just let the real racecars and racers race??

In reality the PRO's have become an embarrassment to the sport and it is starting to look like WWE more and more.

Just taking a look,
Bob

Vp is not what is used by nhra, vht is given to then. Nhra wanted VP to give them traction compound and was told no. Tom

Tom,

In the past VP was only used by NHRA and NHRA people prepped for the National events and VHT was used for the LODRS and applied by the track.

When did this change?

Thanks for the info,
Bob

I guess I was wrong, it said in another post the traction compound used this last weekend and did not come up when goggled was jp1, never heard of it. I was told this fri by norwin at VP heartland that some company gave NHRA tration compound to them We just thought it was vht sorry to use there name in vane. Jp1 must be trying to get there foot in the door by giving product to them. Also Vp has now come up with a cold weather formula LC7. Norwin also said that here in Div 5 that that Vp compound will be used at all Div races and reps will be at the tracks to make sure it is used right. Maybe this will be there test bed. He also said that it is how the compound is cut and I do feel some it maybe a art of how it is done by the crew on the starting line. Thanks Tom

jp1 is the new name for vht as the vht name has been sold for some paint products under the vht name. A track can purchase the pj1 with the product deluted 25% from the factory or purchase it not deluted , what the track does after they get it is up to the track .
