Another Ford in the Beaver Lodge Michael?

We all know what a great facility Bob has but he needs to understand that Mountain Dew/ alcohol concoction he puts on the starting line is a joke. Cars won't do the same thing twice.
Might also need to explain he needs something to dry the track-in case it rains. Running street cars back and forth to dry the track went out of style about the same time as flat top hair cuts.

Dave:
1) Mercury

Onlooker:
2) Something must have changed since I was there last. I raced there for a decade, and the only time we had problems was way back when we had a dirt drag bike track right next to dragstrip, but that is long gone. I *have* seen people complain about how the "track sucks" because of slow 60' times, despite pulling a massive wheelstand... :rolleyes: (The rollout is short, and the 60' clocks aren't!) In my experience, BSD has among the best starting lines I've been on, out of 40+ race tracks I've competed at. I'm not saying something hasn't changed, but I would expect that you could discuss any issues you might be having with Beaver Bob himself.
3) We used to dry the track in an hour to hour and a half by running cars up and down the track. I'm not sure what "style" has to do with it -- It worked. And in cases where it is so humid that cars *didn't* work, you would have a moisture problem returning to the surface after running a jet dryer as well. I don't think a jet dryer is financially feasible for such a small facility.

Just my opinion,

Hey Mike,
I also emailed a couple of tracks. I have not heard anything from Beaver Springs but I have two dates set, one at MIR and one at good ol' US13...I should have two more dates buttoned up this week. All four races will be $5000 to win. I will post all four dates ASAP. I also have a huge North VS South $10,000 race planned as well. The plan is to get 64 Stock/SuperStock cars from the North and 64 from the South. Hey K-Robb missed you at the banquet last night, give me a call 443-207-2961

Jim, I hope that's not the date; it's a Wednesday and also the week of the SEMA show in Vegas

Michael,
I'm not here to bash Bob. He's a good guy and quite a promoter. I consider him a friend. However, the bite at that track is becoming inconsistent at best. He needs to address that situation.

I also understand every track can't afford a $150k track dryer but two of the best 'small tracks' I have raced at use a pick up truck and a front end loader tire to drag the entire racing surface. Low budget-works great.
I'm not here to hijack this thread.

Just my opinion.
