Track prep at National events just plain suck! This has been happening since Vegas last year. look at Vegas, Pomona, Pomona, Firebird, Gainsville, Charlotte. (trend maybe). I noticed at the Vegas event them only spraying to 1000 feet. Because of lack of track prep I crashed my car there.

I do not understand the statement that the fuel cars are chunking the tires. so what! they put new tires almost every run.
do the sportsman?

why is track prep dictated by 7% of the race cars there.

Plus if the Fuel cars raced to the 1320' then everyone would have the same track prep and no chunking problems. If the problem is that those cars are too fast slow them down and leave the track length, prep, etc to the majority of the race cars there.

And i aslo agree that the fuel cars as well as alcohol cars do not need track prep due to downforce,clutch slip,etc. Please don't tell me that because those cars can get down the track that everyone else should.
sorry for the rant, just needed to vent.
Good luck to all.
