If the "compound" was really the problem here wouldn't traction right off the starting line be a huge problem?

The problems developed down track. The track is very bumpy and also has some kind of rut running length wise. Made it feel like a huge gust of wind was hitting you from the side.

They can spray the heck out of this surface later in the year and cars will still have a problem getting down it.

Chalk this up to the biggest F***ING waste of 2 weekends I've ever spent at a race track!

How about the "(insert class here) to the lanes" announcements? Everyone gets their cars warmed up and ready. 5 minutes later...ummm hold on guys we've changed our minds again. We're going to try to make honey out of a horse crap racing surface. We've tried and tried, but we're going to try again until another car hits the wall. Then we'll try and try again until another car hits the wall....rinse and repeat rinse and repeat.

Did we all think it was going to get better after the 1st weekend??? Guess so!!! There were plenty of us that came back. Did anything get done between the 1st and 2nd weekend??? Grinding, patching, anything??? They didnt know about the "compound" issue until Friday? Like Firebird has never had a problem getting cars down the track until this year.

Does anyone have an idea of how many sportsman cars wrecked at Firebird these last 2 weekends?
