I wasn’t offering any 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.

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
