That one of the most silly things I have ever read! Larry and the twins are some of the best track prep in the racing world!!!

We are home now! Good luck to all this week at the points race. First thing I will be doing is checking the car to see if anything is out of adjustment and will scale pre-Indy.

What is your % of weight on Front and on rear? And how much do you have that you can move f to r and r to f? Just curious.
Thanks

I did not have trouble. Other than 1st run saturday morning. I was 6th pair down for the day. Not just our class. So, cold track. I did see others troubles throughout the day.

Larry not many understand trying to hook 600 plus hp on 9 inch tires without a traction arm that goes to the center of the car or a 4 link. This year has been tough on tracks trying to make money. Traction compound is one of the few places they can cut and save money. I've been ok but I have watched several spin at different tracks with heads up runs. BP

Its all about prepping the track the right way--some do some dont--most if not all national events--nhra knows how to prep a track--stockers tell nhra its time to make a 10.5 inch meat an option-

First off ,We would like to thank all the racers who attended our race at Earlville. Our groups have worked hard to provide races with outstanding payouts and attendance. Our goal is to provide great races with great payouts and again, we thank everyone for supporting them. We hope that because of some starting line issues , this race and the track don't get bad reviews. When you have 120 plus S/SS cars for 3 rounds, pounding on the starting line, it would be hard to keep it in optimal condition. Could we have done better, Yes Our plan going forward is to be able to avoid these problems. I would like to apologize to those that were affected . Thanks Bob
