As per usual, the BIGGEST problem there is racers parking in sandy areas and then not cleaning out their wheel wells/rocker panels in the staging lanes. I didn't see hardly anyone making sure their cars were clean, and people give me funny looks when I'm banging on the wheel well to get rid of a half-handful of sand. If people would quit dragging crap up there with them and dumping it in front of their OWN tires, their experience would be better. The track prep itself was great.

CalTracs, Calvert split mono-leaf springs, Calvert 9-way adjustable shocks, and 29.5x9 M/T Radials @ 20psi, I had absolutely ZERO problems. 60' times were 1.40-1.41 over the course of 3 days, day to night, lane to lane, even playing with launch rpm and shock settings. (I know, not too fast for a S/S'er, but I'm only running a 4.56 gear...)
