There is a difference in traction compounds being used at different tracks. This summer at Bowling Green the track was awesome even with 100 degree temps and probably 130 plus track temps. You could walk out on the starting line and it would just about pull your shoe off at any time. This past weekend at Ohio Valley traction was okay but not great. I saw a fair amount of people spin. I didn't go out on the track but other people told me there was no sticky on the starting line. When you looked at the rear tires on different race cars they were very smooth with nothing stuck to them after a run. I was told that Ohio Valley was using VP traction compound which I'm also told doesn't work that great at cooler temps. The old VHT mixed 50/50 with alcohol was always great at any temp.
