A report from the starting line Snob LOL at me
 
Since I am a self-appointed Startling line snob at race tracks LOL I will report that Broc Porter, At "Bowling Green Drag Strip", as usual, had the starting line of all time with teeth Broc worked like crazy from early morning to make sure the track was absolutely perfect (shades of Jeff Foster ) at Vegas. for racers, It seemed like Broc was always working on the track surface to make sure it was perfect...
By the way, thanks to Dallas Jones who even let racers and their families enter the amusement park for free what a very well ran facility for families racing and cool rides in the park I heard the water slide was great.
Also
William Tharpe, , and his crew at NHRA worked with precision for the racers to enjoy racing
Good job
I suspect I personally had one of the best good times for me racing even though I was not very sharp with my reaction times in fact I just might have been for the first time a first rd duck lol at me enjoying my leave on the track too much, By the way, Huge thank you to Elwood Ducan for lining me up as My car never spun Yea

A tentative report from me the "starting line snob" looks like Bristol most cars are spinning as well as Bandimere points race. FYI :confused:
Even the pros are complaining about the starting line when will NHRA wake up the traction compound they are using does not work

So when I tactfully go and address the traction problem on the starting line the most usual comment from the starter is work on your stuff lol
so before I ask him about what the problem is with the starting line I quietly say mr starter I have the latest and Greatest TIRES,
I have Fresh shocks and a very good convertor and Trans plus I am Taking out t timing on the leave can you tell me what to do to make my car hook on your slick track??

Correct ole wise racer Bob Sherwood
. As I predicted the pro stocks at first could not get down the track until NHRA paused the time trials and sprayed the track with something>the track was still marginal big-time NHRA needs to use the correct traction glue, not some stuff that has not worked at Pomona, Vegas and Indy points meet, and now Bristol do we see a trend going on here of course

Track Temp? New weather conditions?

Rumor at the local track today was that traction compound is just another thing to put on the short supply list. Must be those drags strips in Russia using more. BP
