When racing resumed following about a half-hour cleanup, two pairs of Quick Rod cars and one pair of Top Sportsman cars experienced obvious traction problems around half track.

The problem is apparently caused by the cold racing surface.

In the interest of safety, the remainder of both the Sportsman Nationals and the World Finals will be run at the eighth-mile distance.

If the track is too cold at half track,how is running 1/8 mile that much safer?
