It would be nice to get an explanation for the increase but we all realize everything is at a higher price including the fuel it takes for all the workers to get to the tracks. With last year's traction compound issues I wonder what a drum cost today compared to a couple of years ago. At most of the tracks the starting line crew's do a great job giving us a good starting line. But there has been times that the starting lines could use some more prep after watching cars spin. I hope that some of the extra money goes to keeping the starting lines in better shape for all the cars. BP
