I thought they (NHRA) used VHT-PJ1 still but I could be wrong.

I did also hear a rumor from a Super Street racer and someone with a Pro Stock team back at the Arizona Nationals that they (NHRA) started using compound with a different formula that was more "environmentally" friendly and the rubber was not sticking to it quite right and that was the cause of some of the track issues on Friday.
