How many years has its been when Greg Anderson pleaded with the officials at the top end of a race track not to send cars down and then the next pair one crashed. I think they then called the race. after that. Same thing in Wild horse another time. Tom

I just hope with the new $25 extra entry fee in D1. We don’t have this problem
That’s $225 to enter a race this year 🙏

It was said that the 25.00 was at the request of the tracks, that they got the additional money, not D1. Was that ever confirmed? If that is true, it will not go to track prep.
I think we have been pretty lucky in D1 for track prep during the race. i know there was a problem at a test and tune.

We are done for the day, racing resumes tomorrow. I have mix feelings today about track conditions. They worked on the all morning and into the afternoon. After the Juniors ran, they worked on the track for a good 45 minutes. Dragging and spraying the track. I had my best 60ft of the weekend and the racers I talked to said it was better. The questions is... if they could make the track better today, why couldn't they do it yesterday. Anyway, thanks to the crew for todays track prep.

Thanks again Ken for all you do to keep us all informed about the races you attend.


Kudos to SGMP for addressing the traction problem at their track. It was a little late for some, but they listened to the comments and addressed the problem on Saturday and today.
