We have the most expensive entry fees and the lowest payout of any division and the money isn't going to track prep. It shows!!! The only people getting f'd is us the racer! When will enough be enough.
Just my opinion. If anybody has any FACTS otherwise please share.

Byron,like you I just gave an opinion,not scientific fact.Irregardless I think everyone gave it their best shot and the reschedule was the right decision.
Incidently,thought my snail only 60's 1.75,I won Stock at Atco in 2006.I was the last car down the track after everybody,including most of thr Div 1 personnel bailed (about 10:30PM) and it was coooold.My 60' was the same as all the others that day.So I guess what you and others are saying about the new compound might have merit.
Sorry for injecting previous tales of earlier accomplishments.:>):>):>)
