I've been asking about the national event track prep for a year....I finally got to ask Graham at the SRAC meeting in Gainsville.... He said Goodyear told him that the traction compound is causing the fuel car tires to chunk. So for before the fuel cars run the spray till 800 ft only....then before prostock they spray the entire track. And that they have not changed the VHT that they have always used....And to his knowledge....VHT has not changed its formula.....

And I don't believe the cold thing....Belle Rose was 40 degrees and killer....the Norwalk divisional was killer....the national sucked...????

So they must be cutting the VHT more...he said they cut with only Methanol....the fuel cars really don't need any spray by the looks of things....

Has anybody noticed you can't smell the VHT at nationals??? maybe its just me....

Something needs to change quick....I will continue to complain.....

Rock

I bet at Z Max they hardly sprayed because of the chunking tires....and what it was that they sprayed had a negative affect...
