It was even that way at Bakersfield at the Hot Rod Reunion. Usually the track is good in the morning and this year the exhibition cars and AFX cars that ran first all had huge problems. Almost every pass was an aborted run. Eventually it "came in" or maybe the faster dragsters were happier with that but three or four classes were skating around and a couple met the wall spectacularly.

Same deal at Rockingham. The Rod classes were skating but T/S & T/D were O.K. Go figure.
I think what has happened is IHRA and NHRA got a deal on some traction compound and it's not working.

Red face Re: Bad track at Pomona

Is it me or does photographer # 21 have the biggest set of "nutz" for not moving during this crash?? I guess he takes the journalism thing to the next level. lol

We were at the reunion with the White/Vangordon A/gas corvette. I watched 2 pairs of Jr fuelers go down the lanes just before our semi final run. They went straight. We took the right lane and went sideways at about 900 ft. Rob Patten drove around. Chris Beane put Patten in the right lane for the final and he went sideways too at about 900 ft. We had run the right lane all weekend and it had been good but it sure went to crap Sunday aftrnoon.

Which lane was Keri Angeles in? Was the left lane the reason for her crash?

No, Kari did not crash the car is not damaged. There was a problem with radial tire walk.

Thumbs up Re: Bad track at Pomona

Keri spun out due to "radial walk" but did a great job keeping it off the wall and upright. At least 2 360 spins and 2 flat front tires, but no other damage. I had a perfect view from the water box.
