Default Re: Phoenix Nat'l Racers Please Respond

I was at both tracks this past couple of weekends. I am foot braking my superstocker and pomona for me was OK. the sun was always hitting the track the bald spots were so-so. In phoenix i thought that the starting line looked better with rubber for me I had no problem hooking and no problem going down the track.Yes the track is bumpy. My concern is whether or not NHRA has switched traction compounds several years ago they were using VP and right before 1st round in St Louis they changed the compound back to VHT the pros were not to happy with the lack of traction well I went from spinning and adjusting the car to hook to almost flipping over and the front whells pulling out of the beam to a bad red light. NHRA seems to only be spraying till the 1000 ' for the fuel cars and a lot of the Pro Stockers were having trouble all the way down the track. i was asked if there is a lot of sand we had aver a 1/4 mile of asphalt to get to the lanes. I personally don't think it is sand I think it is with the traction compound that is just my opinion. The way the cars were all over he track Sunday I really did not want to go down the track. Like I said though i had no problem with the track when I went down for TT and Class. We will see what happens in G-Ville we all know that track gets bad when the sun goes down and the dew comes in that is normal for that track it is all about during the day and that track is one of the premier tracks in the country
