Traction compound--but the best is when the track is built-10 foot down slow grade for the last 300 feet:mad:

I ran the starting line for a little over a year @ my home track. That said I didn't really learn any temp prep. Just the usual scrape prior to event, spray & drag. But what was a little different @ the time was that when we started to get bald spots, @ the break, spray, pat with rosin & spray over that. After a little while of running on that the line was nice & even.

1- Don't listen to the complainers. When watching cars leave starting line day in and day out the whiners are the ones that don't have a clue on setting a car up. At least in the bracket level.
2- Over powered and under tire makes it nearly impossible to keep a great starting line all day.
3- Have the driver put more ignition retard on launch.
4- Changing percentage of glue or methanol for high and low temp doesn't seem to do a whole lot.
5- Clean track well before dragging and spraying glue. Put glue done like painting a house (total coverage)not like misting in the air and see what hits the ground.
6- If any of these don't work then revert back to 1

Sorry Don I couldn't resist. WHP employees asked 2 Saturdays ago for help when I was out and the info I gave them along time ago they never tried. So I gave up and had nothing to offer I just agreed to their ideas on what to try. Im no expert but have some experience and learned a lot.
