I did not have trouble. Other than 1st run saturday morning. I was 6th pair down for the day. Not just our class. So, cold track. I did see others troubles throughout the day.

Larry not many understand trying to hook 600 plus hp on 9 inch tires without a traction arm that goes to the center of the car or a 4 link. This year has been tough on tracks trying to make money. Traction compound is one of the few places they can cut and save money. I've been ok but I have watched several spin at different tracks with heads up runs. BP

Its all about prepping the track the right way--some do some dont--most if not all national events--nhra knows how to prep a track--stockers tell nhra its time to make a 10.5 inch meat an option-

We have already made one of our 2 time trials for today and it was wasted! After 1.33 60’ yesterday at Indy, we went to a 2.11 today. So Larry is backing everything down to get our next run. Hope it is good since the next run we will be racing!

Anyway, more later!!
When you smell pig sh— you know you have tail wind just thinking. My 60’s were good but the 60 ft timer is a bit short there

First off ,We would like to thank all the racers who attended our race at Earlville. Our groups have worked hard to provide races with outstanding payouts and attendance. Our goal is to provide great races with great payouts and again, we thank everyone for supporting them. We hope that because of some starting line issues , this race and the track don't get bad reviews. When you have 120 plus S/SS cars for 3 rounds, pounding on the starting line, it would be hard to keep it in optimal condition. Could we have done better, Yes Our plan going forward is to be able to avoid these problems. I would like to apologize to those that were affected . Thanks Bob

Curtis I too believe the 60’s were short .01-.02. If a person had a wheel speed car the track was perfect. Mine is a dead hook car so not a good match

thanks for the reply. these are tough times
track prep has become such a delicate balance in this day and age. nothing like the old days, asphalt starting line, ruts and a little rosin
