Default Re: Zmax schedule change

Mother Nature gave everybody the shaft...heavy rain Thursday loosened the top-end rubber. They prepped the track this morning, hoping the rubber would hold, but it got so loose that they stopped after 2 Super Gas cars and are scraping the track. Should have an updated schedule posted on DRC shortly, but it won't be pretty.

It is on my bucket list to race at this track at least once.Sounds like it was a good choice not to go this time.

Plan B - they are starting with Stock Class round 1 and pushed Top Alcohol to the end of the day.

Anyone see a schedule for today yet? I know they have to finish super comp second round but are they still slated for 11:00 start? On a good note, at least there will be plenty of classes to watch on espn3 today. Hopefully the camera angles show more than the wall at the starting line.

Yes, the schedule says 11AM Eastern, starts with the unfinished 2nd round of Super Comp.

V Gaines' crash should really throw off the schedule. No traction half track down .

We've had trouble with that. Even in bracket mode, at around 0.85 under in the Super Stock car. The Super Comp dragster was not real happy, either.

Haven't heard the particulars but if they have another track prep controversy (PS vs.TF/FC) then PS is going to lose again. Believe everyone would agree that PS is the toughest car to drive in NHRA.
