I believe most want a safe environment and great hook....have given up on the friendly part....ha!

Alex Denysenko said it years ago....just ding us another 5 bucks if thats what it takes for a track that hooks

In todays times many business owners [track owners] are trying to make money and are cutting cost where they can, but some are making it wrong places. New paint, mowed grass, nice new sign, but then use traction compound that does not work. Would you go back to a car wash that won,t clean your car? Stock Superstock cars different animals on the starting line and starting line crews are used to bracket cars. Just because the bracket cars a hooking they think are cars should be too. Tom

Larry as we all know the VP traction compound is iffy at best. All you track owners and operators that try to save money by using this stuff are kidding yourself. You will run your customers off and it will be hard to get them back.
