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. Chip |

Can't say if it was another problem or the lane, but............

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

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.

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.
