Gator no prep?

Re: Nhra
 

From compititionplus.com:
There was a total of 4 lane swaps in the first six pairs with none of them proving to be better than the other. Antron Brown swapped lanes with Krista Baldwin and smoked the tires with Baldwin. He won with a 4.664 elapsed time.

In a classic case of don't ask a question if you are not prepared for the answer, a starting line announcer asked Brown's crewchief Brian Corradi about the win. "I have my personal thoughts on this thing", Corradi said. "This could have been avoided by starting on this thing and dragging earlier and putting down some rubber because they know how to do. I don't know what you want to call that, but I have a name."

Its tough when the weather is not cooperative. They had plenty of rain on Saturday and Sunday. Not much time to prep the track to keep on schedule for the TV coverage. I ran my Qualifying runs and first round on Thursday and Friday. The track was perfect for my car. Ran excellent 60 and 330 ft times and consistent. Granted I was not running Top Fuel. Just a side note. TAFC record was broken as well as the Pro Stock record so the track was there until the weather turned wet. Just take a look at the starting line when the pros roll up there literally 20-30 crew people walking around on the racing surface with muddy shoes. I noticed the tractors that drag and sweep the track did not have the NHRA or Mission Foods logo on them. Possibly NHRA has gone to a sub contractor for track prep?
