Just curious, what IS good track prep? I was in attendence at Maple Grove for the LODRS event and the prep looked pretty standard to my untrained eye - spray, then drag. It must have worked since I didn't see any spin from anything 8's and slower. TAD qualified a 5.2x and TAFC a 5.4x so it was obviously good for them as well.

So is the trick to use the right compound, then drag?

I remember last fall at the Dutch, I saw a lot of scraping at the starting line and can't say there was much of that if any last weekend. So I guess there's a sweet spot for the right amount of rubber as well.

So again, what's ideal for a Stocker and higher HP cars (excluding nitro) that works for both?
