Interesting SS Leave

Ty Kwaiser · 02-22-2024, 12:35 PM

I watched the video of this event Saturday night and became increasingly angry with car after car blowing the tires off in the left lane. Last summer a fellow D3 racer smacked the wall in Bowling Green after the three pair before him lost traction. I have been a victim as well as a victor because of traction issues in the past. Regarding stock and superstock, I am asking if our SRAC reps could bring this issue up with the division directors and starting line crews that if they see 3 cars in a row blow the tires off or 3 out of 5, could they stop and reprep the lane(s)? A one-off John Force burnout off the line may just be someone who lined up poorly, dripped water, or poor set-up, etc. but when a string of several well-prepped cars have this happen in a row, there is a problem with the track. Stopping for 10 minutes and burning a gallon of diesel and 10 dollars of VHT is less costly than a car or a life. This is a safety issue.
