[Ed Wright]

Something I have experienced that surprised me. Our local track, Tulsa Raceway, Mike Edwards rents the track to test his Pro Stock car all the time. He talks about how good it is. Myself and the other local SS cars can hardly ever hook here when we rent it. I tried to run a bracket race for practice before going to the Topeka race. Mike tested there the week before. I tried both lanes and just blew the tires off instead of changing the car all around I said "heck with it". Went home and got ready for Topeka (Nationals). We have rented the track, told them it was too slick, they say "That's just how we prep it for Mike."
I got to Topeka and about flipped it over backwards.
I was thinking ( How is data from Tulsa of ant value to Mike is all he runs is National events with starting lines like this?" so went went to ask him. I said "The starting line here is really good isn't it?" Mike says "It is." I asked "How is test data from Tulsa any value here?" Mike said he couldn't tell any difference. He never wants the starting line at Tulsa sprayed. Now, when Indy went away he had the same problem SS cars had.
