From the Auto side of things:

I was at both events, with the dakota in SS in both, with my dragpak in stock at epping....

No issues with the dakota at either place, but it is hook gifted for a 9 inch tire truck. I didn't see any SS get sideways at the line at Epping like I did at E-town.

Dragpak was fine for qualifying and then hooked and hit a bald spot and spun in E-1....thus ruining my top end dance with Mr. Pires. I wasn't too happy, but those are the breaks. shorter wheelbase, lower HP cars seem to thrive on it though....Track was real well prepped, they did the most that they could with the conditions.

The Gremlin wouldn't have had any issues with either track!
