from what I have heard is since NHRA signed the deal with VP a few years ago, they are required to use the VP traction compound. The VP traction compound is not effective under 60 degrees as the VHT is. So when the temp is low you are virtually racing on a non sticky cold surface perhaps quite slick. In addition to this problem Z-Max does not host a weekly bracket program and only opens for certain scheduled races per year and does not have the rubber applied to the track as well as other facilities.

After watching the TV coverage today, not just sportsman but EVERYONE must have had problems on that track. Perhaps Bruton Smith should have build just 2 lanes but equipped those lanes with a Geo Thermal system that would warm it in COLD weather and cool it in HOT weather.
