Like Jeff , I really had a tough time with the left lane with my Big Block Super Gasser at Stanton
1st run ( Left lane ) was scary , car all over the track almost lost it
2nd run ( Right Lane ) 9.92 @ 170 no problems
3rd run (Left lane ) car shattered and rattled the tires so hard ,, I turned pale ( which if you know me is very hard to do
4th run ( Right lane ) Softened up shocks a lot , to the point it affected reaction time but had a good clean pass with no problems and won 1st round with a 9.898 @ 169 MPH
5th run , 2nd round (loss toss and was put in left lane ) did get down the track with soft shock settings but it was not pretty and of course lost to event winner ,,,, I can't honestly say which track was worst but I was able to eventually get down Stanton which is more than I can say for the Columbus disaster ------
Maybe I should have kept my Small Block ,, it could hook at a car wash
