CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional

Track prep has been the topic of conversation around the pits at many events this year. I am no expert, but I would think it should be fairly easy to be consistent with the prep work. Drag the track, spray the track and make sure no bald spots. Not the entire deal but at least the basics.

I have seen a cobra jet mustang almost crash when the prep wasn't consistent. The comment was that the s/c dragsters aren't spinning. A 9 inch tire is much different than a 14 inch tire and the car is MUCH different.

I watched Hannah Line's car go into the wall, very scary. Was that in any way due to track prep after an engine issue by a competitor.
