Overall though, the crew did their best with repeated dragging and spraying.
Just wondering if a racer getting ready to run would advise the starter that the track was not safe because of the bald spots and would request politily to prep the starting or you will not run ?? You are at the head of the staging lanes and don't move ??? Just wondering ??? remember NHRA says that the racers are responble for the safety of the track I think LOL Correct me if I am wrong???
