Bruton Smith's - Bristol Track Condition's

[SCohen]

This is not about VP or VHT it is about lack of track prep period the track was supposedly scraped and there was not sufficient prep done when it was obviously necessary. Bottom line we have to have correct safety equipment new belts every two years ect. but a safe track is to much to ask for.

The track personel just stood there and watched probably half the SG cars get loose never stopped to check the track once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you look at SC just look at 1 rd winners times !!!!THAT TRACK SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!! My car never gets loose but in Bristol it did!!!!!!! I will say that Bob Lang would have never sent cars down !! Rich Shaefer wherever he was hiding did with out regard for safety of drivers !!!!!!!!!!!

Bruton runs a business only, catering to the Nitro, Monster Truck and NASCAR group. He doesn't need to have all his customers satisfied to make a profit so this is what you get. But rather than venting on here you should email Rich, his EMail address and FB page is right on the D2 website so make input....I know Ed will do all he can to make Reynolds a great track to race on.

I guess the Division Director thinks thats a succesful event. Not a good way to take care of your customers. I guess traction compond is to expensive to apply when you see cars loose run after run. They finally applied some before the second round of T/D and it looked like it made a big difference. Sure would have been nice if they did it as soon as cars were all over the track early on. Not a good way to keep racers coming back.

Worst surface I've raced on in a long time- Bald spots in the right lane about 600ft out, Left lane- loose Just drove through it- Chirping the same - each run. Guess our division reps didn't complain loud enough.

Columbus was the best I've ever seen it last week. A year ago when we got there of the sportsnationals it wasn't safe because of the vp traction compound. They bought 3 drums of VHT and the track came around by Saturday .
