This past weekend it was great weather. Next weekend looks questionable.
We were there Saturday. First pass the dragster went up on the tires at about 400 feet and shook the rest the way. Second pass we made a full 1/4 mile pass skating from 400' on. Car still ran 7.68 @ 173. The slow cars didn't seem to have the moving around like the dragsters had. I talked to several guys that were running 4.90's (1/8) and they said the same thing. By the first round it seemed ok but it started getting cold when the sun went down. I did not go Sunday but heard it was better. I was told they switched to the VP traction compound and was trying to get it tuned in. Hopefully the weather men are wrong and we get it in.
