There are definitely some bumps down between 900’ and 1000’ in the left lane that have been there to some extent for 15-20 years. There were plenty of fast cars going right down the track without any issues at all this weekend just like there is on any given week at our normal bracket races. The weather was beautiful all weekend. The coldest it probably was while cars were on the track was 55 and I don’t think it ever got much over 80. (I wouldn’t know for sure because I’m too stupid to use a weather station.) For a track that can get windy like Vegas it never had much more than a nice breeze. I didn’t see either crash happen so I wouldn’t want to speculate on what happened but for everyone that was complaining about the track sucking, they probably need to go work on their cars. There are plenty of tracks worse than Tucson on the NHRA schedule and not many track owners have put as much work into the track and try to create a welcoming environment as Jim has over the last couple of years and last 6 months getting it so racers weren’t parked in the dirt.

Thanks for all the pictures and reports while you were out there Ed. I was hoping to swing by and check out Ashton’s car before you guys hit the road.

I have to disagree with you this time..........
I felt track was NOT up to Par in Preparation.
