By the way, I need some advice I lowered the rpm chip on the leave, adjusted the front shocks and adjusted the rear shocks and changed the tire pressure in the rear tires, move to a different spot on the starting line took the weight off the front? I took a few degrees of timing for a little while, also let me know what else I can do to make the car hook up on a slick track just asking ??? oh by the way the convertor is fresh and the trans is fresh plus the rear tires were new with 5 runs on them I will wait for Your advice I did forget I tried 3 different tire pressures

I really was not complaining I was just pointing out a common problem at the past indy points race with a whole lot of cars spinning. I do remember in 1977 at Pomona My Super Stocker was not working right so I checked the trans fluid just before I won class I will just double check that at Bowling Green The common trait at Pomona and Vegas is the glue being used does not work!. back to the advice do you have any other advice for me to try on a slick track? I will wait for Your advice

I run Super Street on 9” radials and sometimes the track gets me too. I chose a sensitive combo so I don’t complain about it.

Radials. The issue is the glue being used most of the SS ers spin or left lazy.
Remember I am a starting line snob, a pit space snob, and a hotel snob other than that I am ok lol

I would have a set of Bias tires just for days like that. You lose a little et but I think you have the HP to overcome that.

ok I think I have made my point so this is the" last post "after 5262 looks . My point was the track prep was either not done with the Correct VHT (PJ1") or the vht (PJ! was diluted beyond its usefulness .as verified by again watching the live streaming this was a "fun post" by the Way NHRA pay attention to us as "Will said we are NHRA customers" and I am sure the issue will be addressed see all at Bowling where the correct "glue " will be used and if anyone would like the rest of the story call PJ1 office in where the family is running the company I have not seen or talked to since PJ's health is not great the last I heard see all at BG where Your car will hook big time this has been fun lol .........

I'm not an expert but have experience using both at Speedworld. Chasing bald spots and gluing past 60ft would be addressed with rosin and s pressurized container with straight glue. If the track diluted the glue that was sprayed on entire track that can be a problem. But using the 2 items listed above has always cured the first 100 ft. even in AZ heat. My experienced opinion is both items work well and track usually goes with best deal. Sometimes it's a labor thing that is needed. Wasn't there and don't have an opinion on their efforts.

More than likely what happened and what is happening at almost all the tracks at the current moment is they are out of PJ1 and there is no ETA on when it will be available. So VP is being used and it takes a entirely different process
