Live from Englishtown-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Dan Fletcher]

I don't know who's responsibility it is, but I can certainly attest to the fact that the track was a complete joke for round two of stock. My car has - literally - not spun in YEARS. It just doesn't happen. I blew the tires off so bad I thought I broke something. Never moved an inch, as if I was on ice. I totally stopped at about the 100 foot mark, loaded the converter and jammed the gas. Front tires off the ground and drove down the track. I really thought I might have broken an axle or broke a rear, but there wasn't a damn thing wrong other than a piss poor starting line.

I like Bob Lang and Dave Mohn alot, and Englishtown is a great facility. I can live with one time run. We all understand the weather deal. But for $170 to enter, we deserve a lot better than that.

Of course it is after the fact, but I would contact RP and explain this to them. I know most of the guys over there and I believe they will actually care if they get input about piss-poor track conditions.

I would contact Mike or Alex Napp.

We shouldn't have to do this. Anyone who watched the session saw what was going on. You can't tell me the people in the tower didn't take notice.

Geez,I wish now I had run the race.I might have stolen a round or two.
Congrats to Dusty and Brian.And how about Manzo?Alltime best driver bar none.

Dave, I couldn't agree more that the track crew should have been on it, however, in order to make things better in the future the track management, who was probably not watching the action from the tower, should be notified. If anyone wants, I will gladly contact them and make them aware that the track was junk on Sunday. Were there bald spots or was the track just slippery?

Evan,Alex was walking around near the water box around the time of the semi finals.I'll tell you what I saw.There was nobody maintaining the water box for the first 3 or 4 rounds.Cars were dragging water up and guys were doing burnouts in puddles in the right lane.Some were smoking the left tire and the right tire was spinning in water.Finally in the afternoon there were 2 guys sweeping the rocks and spreading the water.When they tried to use the blower I thought the guy was going into cardiac arrest pulling the starter cord.Didn't start and they just walked away from it.

I wasn't lucky enough to experience this condition at RWP. but I can F--KING tell you this SH-T is getting scary . I ALMOST CRASHED AT cecil AND THE NEXT THREE PAIRS AFTER ME ALMOST HIT THE WALL AND OR CROSSED OVER INTO OTHER LANE AND STILL NO TRACK TUNE UP. Does someone have to crash and get hurt, what happened to the safety, STOP racing fix it or end it!!!
