I would try B/SA for the second race and put the weight back in.Is this the first race that you ran at the CC/SA weight?

Div2 does have a track that hooks, South Ga. Motorsports crew did a great the first race of the year keeping the track working. The track crew stayed on top of the bald spots by being proactive. They sprayed, dusted, and drug the track as needed.

The Atlanta track just needs to follow a proven biscuit recipe for track preparation. If Atlanta needs a recipe please contact Bill "Red Man" Floyd, or Pat Joffrion.

Still mad about lack of track prep: so is # 3 B/SA Corvette, Slate missed his dial by .24, I was off .13 in 60', Glazener off his dial by .37, Kight off by .14, Wood COPO off .32. Super stock did not do much better gt/ ga Taylor blew tires off. General opinion is "if they won't fix the track we will not be back".

Looks to me If the crew does not get the starting line under control, there will be plenty of places to park in the future.

As they say "screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me"

I know I got screwed today by poor track prep, please don't make me say shame on me!

Everyone hear paid to race on a quality track, today everyone got short changed!!!!

Just wondering if this has been a problem in the past, seems to be a really low car count? Hope you guys have better conditions for the second race.

I believe some of the starting line problems could be helped by a schedule adjustment and an understanding of what each category car needs to make a successful run. Stock is the only class that has a tire rule. Let the stockers go first, then follow Super Comp or Top Dragster in the rotation. The "long" cars put rubber down on the track, reducing the time to repair the bald spots.

Here are some runs yesterday during round 1 of Super Stock:
