Default Re: Traction compound and tracks that hook.

There was no reason to go away from VHT except for one HUGE problem, the EPA. Ya can't use the good stuff anymore according to them, I believe it's alcohol based. The tracks that do are "getting away" with it, hope they can stick (pun intended) with it for as long as they can.

The accepted stuff is a problem , it seems to me, because ya can't run on a cold track anymore and it's marginal in the heat. It's caused more scheduling problems lately where racing is holted or postponed until we get "heat into the track" in the mornings and after dark.

National events have been using the new shyt for years now and in case ya haven't noticed it has caused all kinds of issues. Nascar was using it in pit lane as well but they can't use it either, seen 'em spraying coke down for a while!!
