I don't know where you race but the traction compound has a huge effect. I can tell the difference by walking the starting line. VHT is sticky and will try to pull your shoe off and vp is dark black and you can slide your foot across it like a garage floor. The vp stuff can work fair in a limited temperature range but the VHT works in any temp range. NHRA had to change to VHT for national events because of so many problems with vp.
