VP or VHT

Our track manager uses Strip Grip. Small manufacturer, SUPERB results.
We are consistently 1.28 60' with small-block Olds, turbo 350 (252:1 low) 4.56 rear, 13" slicks and 3250 lbs.

I run brackets and get beat up by the powerglide cars most of the time but NONE of them have the fun of landing a 3' high 80' long wheelie 5 to 10 times a day.

Strip Grip works in cool and hot weather. One thing the track has to do is scrape it, then drag it for a few hours with the right compound of tires. He has found used circle track slicks (asphalt circle burners) are the best.

There are choices but the most critical thing is preparation BEFORE the spraying. I ran tracks for 15 years. There is a heck of a lot more to it than the GLUE, guaranteed.

Doing wheelies.
