Interesting SS Leave

Dan Bennett · 02-21-2024, 02:48 PM

I don't ever remember seeing a SS car do this. Yes, every once in a while with an Altered.

Brings up an interesting thought process - is this what makes it so fast or could an improvement be made?

The car has unloaded on the bars
Traction issues

I think this was Mike's second qualifying run, not surprisingly the car made a hard left and he let off.

However I don't think he returned for eliminations.

Hopefully Mike will enlighten us.

That's a very interesting photo, lol.
I along with several others had major traction issues in the left lane that session. Several cars had to abort their runs and the decision was made to drag the track mid session.

After this they dragged the track before each round of super stock.

I was the next pair right behind you. I was in the other lane though. After they drug and treated the starting line with rosin it was ok. Glad they stepped up and kept the track good through the race. It was a long day for the crew.
