and exploded the tires even with 150 Lbs
of lead bolted in the trunk!!!

Soooo Basically the track was as well prepared as the pitting Area? The site looks like Mars from the satellite pics. Sounds like it's managed by The Govenor of California too from this report.


Sacramento Dragway falls where on the do no ever go to dragways list? #1?

The stock/superstock combo was last in the rotation. There were a ton of Jr dragsters. Then they only dragged the tires behind the tractor for maybe one pass in both lanes after them. I think they sprayed the track once in the morning. Then super classes tearing up the track with their short burps on the starting line. Not that friendly for 9" tires.

We went to a N/O at Rocky Mountain and attempted to run Stock / Super Stock after the Jr. Dragsters. The first pair left the line sideways because the Jr Dragsters put anything that they can think of to get the tires to work and I have seen WD-40, diesel fuel additive and anything else that they can think of applied to their tires.
I approached the Starter and suggested that they drag and spray a few times to fix the track and he refused. At that point I informed him that having knowledge of a dangerous situation and taking NO ACTION to correct it would leave leave him potentially responsible for any injuries and exposed to prosecution for Criminal Negligence. I went up to the 2 cars in the water box and informed the that it was too dangerous to race. They shut down and then a “Management Decision” was made and the track was fixed to make it safe for racing….

Just now, track is 137.

Well I gotta tell you folks it was nowhere near perfect. The track was a challenge for many....not for me because I have about the same horsepower as a hair dryer so hook wasn't the problem. It was hot, dusty, and we were all frustrated by the presence of a large number of juniors.

The pits still suck at Sac....as they have for 50 years. Unfortunately, many if not most of the better pit spots were given to the juniors. Once again, I wound up in the dirt where I have been nearly every time I have raced Sac....mostly because I cannot seem to get there before race day.

All in all it was a tough weekend....but the racing was still awesome. Tony Hewes qualified #1 both days and laid down a .025 package to end our day on Saturday. I was driving like a complete idiot(although hampered by a bad converter) and actually won three rounds with lights >.100 only to drop to dead 2, dead 5, and dead8 in three consecutive rounds. As they all say I'd rather be lucky than good and I seemed to have that old wives tale tatooted on my head this race.

I was indeed disappointed with the facility since I had been told of a lot of improvements to the surface, timing, parking, etc.....none of which I was able to witness personally.
