I would definitely chalk that one up to Jim Halsey, the track owner. Hes always worked hard for the best track prep.

Absolutely! He races a pro mod himself and knows how a track should be!

We were very happy to have the NHRA President at our event and visit with our racers, fans and staff. I think things like this are good for our sport and show that the NHRA does look to make our sport even greater. The track prep had nothing to do with his visit, it was just our normal Cecil effort combined with good weather and great racers! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Being honest Jim my car NEVER spins but the last time i was at Cecil, every other pass it blew the tires off. This past weekend it was spot on and the 60 moved .008 out of 4 runs. (broke in the water for 3rd round) after the redo of the burnout box and starting line I'm no longer worried about going to the event. Its nice and close only 100 miles

Jeff Kundratic tried to drag me over to meet Glen while he was enjoying a Cecil Burger with Bob Lang but, I didn't feel it was my place to say anything and knew that the racers would stand up to voice their concerns. I do hope he was able to take it all in, grab some positive results and some things that need to be worked on.

I can say from hosting events at Cecil over the past 12 years that there is one person that puts 110% into his track prep and that's Jim. You can see all improvements that have been made to Cecil, track re-done and grounded, new equipment for prep, new scoreboards and soon new stands on the tower side. Jim & Chad (His track MGR) have been doing a lot to the facility and bringing new programs to the plate for the racers, from what I heard from alot of racers over the weekend, they were really happy with Cecil.

The track prep at Cecil was perfect. Three runs and 60's were identical to the thousand. Wish Gainesville took the same approach to track prep.

Agreed. .986, .981, .985, .978, and .977 were my 60's last weekend, the best I've had anywhere else other than VMP(.960's a couple of times) We generally didn't run this race because the bumps in the left lane really upset the car and engine. Not fun in an unsuspended car. It is now very smooth and they did a great job with the prep. Kudos to the whole team there.
