You cannot just spray some glue down, that makes it even worse and will make it slick as ever.

With all this traction compound talk lately, I think we are forgetting the responsibility of the organizations and the tracks. Their responsibility of the track surface is to make it SAFE, not to make it the best starting line of all time. It is the drivers/cars responsibility to make the car work with the track.

The above often gets lost when people start complaining about track prep.
What we are seeing here is more down track. starting line can be dealt with and at this point is still working manageability
