Re: Track Prep At National Events
Seems like there are several other methods to slow the pro cars down, that would be a lot safer ways to do it.

Re: Track Prep At National Events
They are trying to bring the average down before the end of June, so they don't get hit with the AHFS. jk
Yes, it is slower

Re: Track Prep At National Events
We spun in the semi's at Atlanta after making 6 good runs on the weekend. It looked like Strickland in the Copo stocker spun in front of me. We have a similar tire size and run the same ET's, so I chalked it up to track temp and bad luck. But one can only wonder if the reduction in track prep played a role.
You would think you could cross track prep off the list of variables at a National Event.

Re: Track Prep At National Events
Unless I’m misremembering, an earlier post said only the last half or third was cut, if so, that shouldn’t affect start hit

Re: Track Prep At National Events
Have they been spraying the track with two different rigs? I can't see that happening.

Re: Track Prep At National Events
They don’t seem to be dragging and preparing the track between classes

Re: Track Prep At National Events
Shouldn’t 2 rigs, nozzle or mixture switch

Re: Track Prep At National Events
I haven't seen anywhere that they are using 2 different mixtures. Just the cut down on glue percentage as previously stated. If you check the Fuel Classes, there's been very few good side by side runs with lot's of cars going up in smoke at the hit, hazing the tires, dropping cylinders and grenading engines since the change.
I know, some are going to say that's a normal weekend for a fuel car but this is way worse and not in any particular lane. The idea was to force these guys to take power out. Pretty much ruined the show for the fans and cost racers a lot of money. Next enhancement please...…….
