Just read Larry Morgan's comments on CompPlus. What is the difference between prepping a track for fuel cars, pro stock and the alcohol classes? What should be done in between rounds to make it better for one or the other?
Seems as though Larry isn't to happy with much of anything lately.
I wish someone would figure out how to keep the Pro Stocks from leaving balled spots on the starting line.
Sounds to me like NHRA wasn't given much to work with.. on top end anyways.... Alan Johnson said the rear tires only had about 50% contact with the crap on top end? Should there be some sort of standard for what is used to pave the track????
A little tough to blame this on track prep. No matter how much you polish, a piece of crap is still crap. This track is not fit fit to race donkeys on, say nothing about fuel cars. Hopefully they make them correct the problem beore next year, or move to a track that is fair for all. Route 66 might be a good choice fo this race. <G>
NHRA - are you listening?
Not defending the sanctioning body,
but how do the record runs get explained?
SSR is the measuring stick no?
Isn't this a double edged sword? If NHRA mandated perfect surfaces at every facility, wouldn't that take some of the advantages away from teams who learn to run on bad tracks? I always love watching those who match race anywhere to stay alive in this sport proving they can get down a marginal track. They often take out the "top shelf" front runners when conditions aren't all that great. For me that's a big part of this sport.

Paul,
Pardon my ignorance, but just what is SSR? I'd like to know what measuring stick you are referring to.
Hi
Kurt I believe he is using the derogatory term "Silver Spoon Racing", referring to the KB/Summit team of Greg & Jason.
Thanks JP
