No change with the converter

Re: Spinng on The Line at all NHRA Tracks lately
 

I have been preaching this for 2 years. I believe there are several reasons the tracks are not hooking like they used too. First is the lack of people that really know the tracks they are working at and how to really prep them. These guys are dying off or just retiring. Now the new guys are doing the best they can but nothing beats experience. Also what is throwing a monkey wrench into the mix are companies changing the traction compounds, then changing back, then they are hard to get then there seems to be an ample supply. So, bottom line, we need to have our cars working as best as they can. Because a good hooking track covers up a car that has problems. Believe me I have personally found that out and hopefully have made progress on my stuff. Also throw in the cost of traction compounds, are tracks cutting down the mix, probably.

Track Owners should visit Napierville Dragway (Nick Brunet) to learn how to prepare a track!

We were there for the National Open last month, and had the BE$T 60ft. times ever with our car. I was all over both lanes guiding cars in the path, and never once saw a bald spot on the starting line.

Nick & his crew have a "unique way" of drying & preparing a track, nothing that I've ever seen before!

Don it appears no track people or NHRA people are going to respond. I would talk to your SCRA rep

Don, you complain about every track you go to. Ever think it's your car?

When the last time you had you shocks recalibrated? The ride in the trailers is very hard on them!

Wasn't there a shortage of traction compound a couple of years ago then didn't the price skyrocket?

fresh rear shocks first of the year just took off the front struts no issues
