It's my understanding that VHT traction compound is now used at all national events. If your division director still is using the other stuff you should let him know what you want. VHT is more expensive but it works.

Like most things in life Gregg. You usually get what you pay for.

VHT ( now called PJ1 ) is the one that works . The prep crew at Gainesville is excellent .

Talking Re: Gators starting line prep

Hey Chad a great racer once told me if it was easy everybody would do it! So lets go over the driver part 1) pit all stickers on car ( Not the owners responsablity) 2) check air press. 3) check dial on window 4) check dial on boards 5) DON'T screw anything else up and get the round WIN. Any questions, Repeat as needed!!!!!!!...............LOL see you in Belle Rose we'll practise..

Hey, stuff happens. I had to have them correct my dial-in once at Phoenix this year. You need to get into the habit of checking your dial-in every round. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

You get it Toby.In the end it's your responsibility to make sure the numbers are correct and in the right place.I learned that at Norwalk two years ago.

I'm not disputing that part, but I have no problems finding ways to lose on my own, I didn't need their help. Besides they weren't off .06, they were off .6

I had them back both of us out of the staging lights in the final at Memphis because the dial in was wrong. One of my crew members caught it.
