"Live" from St. Louis AAA Ins. Midwest Nat'l 2017

Thanks Larry for posting about the less than ideal conditions for the first pass Friday. I followed, in the second pair in super gas, after super stock, and it was pretty bad. I went back up and watched the final few cars in super gas. And before they ran the outlaw cars, they dragged the track and then gave it a generous spay of traction compound, thru the entire 1/8 mile. Nothing was done before the started the first time run for super gas.

And NHRA wonders why no one wants to be in the first few pairs out in stock. Could it be the NHRA decision makers are saying "That will do". In business and in real life "That will do usually won't"! For me It was .06 quicker Saturday in 60' than the first run Friday.
