Mike and Paula(!) know all too well the danger of being sent down a improperly prepped track. Unless racers band together and leave the lanes (ala the Larry Morgan Pro Stock exodus) they won’t do anything about it. Last year at the Baby Gators they sent Super Stockers down first round with the dew so heavy you needed a crew to help clear the windows. I was one of several who chose to not run.

My only point being unless we present a unified position on track prep they won’t do squat. If brought up in a SRAC meeting it will just get lip service.

And now a question for those setup gurus -

Was this caused by the unequal load shifting the suspension or the weight shift when the car headed hard to the left? Maybe both?

You don't need both tires anyway!

Unpopular opinion:

I like it when the track gets ****ty. My super gas car goes 138. The crappier it gets, the better for me. When the dew sets at night, I practically beg for them to keep super gas in the lanes. Those boys tying to go 170+ have there hands full, but not me. You wanna go that fast? You'd better be prepared. I bet I've won 5 rounds in the last couple years because my opponent couldn't get down a marginal race track, and believe me, I did not shed a tear for them.

I will say stock and SS is different as they are forced to do more with less. Trying to get under the index with stock suspension and 9 inch tires at 3500 pounds is really challenging as it is, much more so on a track that sucks. I'm with y'all as far as STK/SS is concerned, but all of the .90 class cars that can't get down have it coming.

I was watching the race from No Problem on Saturday. I don't any TA/D made it down the left lane in Round 1, even with track prep. Naturally, the first funny car immediately afterwards in that lane wins.
