Back in the day, Bob Curley would spray PRP (Speedworld) with Coke syrup and it would stick forever in the 100 degree plus desert heat. Bernie Longjohn would do the same thing at LACR in 100 plus temperatures and it would rip your head off. I have no idea what the problem is with the way NHRA preps for a national but obviously it does not work. Raceway Park is a class place with a great history. Their bracket programs and the S/SS combo races they have do not show traction issues. National events are prepped for the fat tired BS pro show and that leaves the 9" Stock racer with three choices....
A...work on your car to make it work all the time, stick anywhere.
B...don't race nationals, race the points races only on local track prep
C...quit racing
Mr Barton has a legit beef and has a right to be pissed. He just said the wrong thing to the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. We all play in their sandbox to their rules. Live with it or don't race, simple.
