I cannot say much about how they prep the track at E Town, but if they are using PJ1 for traction on compound, chances are the starting line will not be very good. When track temp. gets to 95 to a 100 degrees things get really bad. Everyone has been having trouble with traction issues this year, especially stick cars. Time was, when you would walk out on the starting line, it would pull your shoes off. That was when VHT was being used. Anyway it adds up, VHT or PJ1, something has changed and it shows on your 60 foot time and on your shoes. They say PJ1 is the same as VHT, only costing less money per drum. Just walk out on the starting line and see for yourself if your shoes stick to the track. You will be in for a surprise.

Something's different and I know VHT worked and they changed the name of the product to PJ1 and now many people are having trouble hooking up.
