If you race and prep jrs then I will listen to what you have to say about tire prep......
If not you are just another stroke with an incorrect opinion

This is just plain wrong, Tire prep will be dried into the tire within minutes up to the point of the durometer reading being stabilized. If they look wet it's possible the prep is heavy to the oil side but will be nonexistent by the time you leave the water. The car would spin uncontrolably if it were leaving oil on the track. What people are making isn't much different than a commercially available "track bite".

If I could afford it I would run a top sportsman car. However, it appears as of late it requires 6 people to get one in the frickin beams!

OK, Nmbr1....

This will be my last post on this topic

Why do find it's necessary to post on this topic?????

I don't know if you attended the race in Fallon but I do know that the conversation between myself and the starter was private and conducted at the starting line...

The starter stated to me and only me that they drag the track after each and every Jr session to return the track to "normal"....

Since in many of your postings you admit to your lack of knowledge regarding drag racing, I will attempt to give you some insight..

In Stock and Super Stock hundredths of a second mean something..

If a tire does not hook the same from one run to another, that is a wasted run...

To you spinning a tire would look like a nitro car burnout, but to us the change in 60 foot times by a few hundredths is spinning the tires....

You also appear not to have a frame of reference when making your posts on almost any racing topic....

You also tend to misquote people such as "If you think tire prep leaves puddles of oil on the track you're crazy.".....

This is why in this type of drag racing we cringe at sight of jet cars at the end of the day, because Stock or Super Stock is first out in the morning.
The kerosene that the jets use for fuel "lubricates" the track and change our 60 foot ET's......

I hope that this response has been helpful,
