Wow,

Looks like a bunch of half facts and missinformation.

The PRO's require a different track surface to allow for tire slippage and VP makes a product that works.

The National events switched from VHT to VP several years ago, possibly 6 or 7.

The change was better for the PRO's but worse for the Sportsman Racer who desire a dead hook starting line.

VHT is still used at LODRS races.

Firebird is no better or worse than most of the tracks we race at in Division 7.

People bitched about Sacramento Raceway and now we have to tow even further to race.

We keep making it tougher and tougher in these financial times to operate a track and pretty soon there will be no place to race.

The newest real race track (not counting the parking lot at Fontana) that we race on is Vegas and that's at least 15 years old. But we also lost OCIR, Fremont, Sacramento and Ontario.

Be careful what you wish for and pick the right battle to fight,

Bob
