Traction compound and tracks that hook.

My local track switched last year about the end of july to VP LC7 from VHT. The VHT was starting to "roll" when the track got up about 120-130 deg. This was the best thing they ever did. VP seems to withstand alot of racing and even street cars a lot better than VHT did. Yes, they scrape when the rubber gets to thick. I think alot of people have had a bad experince with the Vp LC6. The LC7 is great stuff. Espcially when used with the liquid rosin that VP reccomends. Running on the VP has greatly made 60ft times more consistant and repeatable thru-out the day. I have to agree, the over-all track prep is the most important, but have heard alot of bad things about VHT recently. And another benefit of VP, no need to cut it so no methanol expense.
