Default Re: Why do we continually use the super classe as track testers?

[. I was wondering how a 9 inch tired upper class stocker could have run on the track last Sunday? That would have been interesting to know.[/QUOTE] ....I use the upper class Stockers as my
'barometer" for track conditions. ......I saw Ed Bednaz's B/S Nova spin the tires down track when he hit 4th gear on Saturdays run......The track was just marginally acceptable on Saturday while the sun was on it ,when the sun got low it really sucked.......I don't think Stockers would have faired any better on Sunday than the S/ST 'ers did................Something was very wrong with the track because our SuperGas association has raced often at Atco ,sometimes after rain and often when it was cold ,and we never had problems down track like this weekend. ..........We will never know if there was a problem with the traction compound that was used ,or any other circumstances , because to admit there was a problem is to admit liability. .......Some of the Super Street racers that did not crash, but lost never the less, asked about rerunning the couple of pairs that made it down the track, and were told absolutly no. .......
