Gators starting line prep

Marc LaBrecque · 03-13-2012, 09:29 AM

Just wanted to give some thumbs up to the NHRA track prep and starting line crew . We all have a habit of bashing the NHRA well I gotta tell ya this was one of the best track preps I've raced on . Also the way the starting line crew ran the water box and the attention paid to drips and spills on the starting line deserves a "good job people". So Thanks for doing your job !

I have to agree.... We all are very quick to bitch about things but very slow to give credit... I raced and watched rounds... Prep was good for the sprotsmen classes I watched... They cleaned the "bleach box" between cars and added water as necessary... I know that is the way its supposed to be but they were doing it right and they need to know we do appreciate it... JMO......

Yeah, it was good for me too. No problems hooking at all. Starting line crew always had enough water and not too much. Good job guys!

They did do an excellent job, they were friendly and courteous as well.

they did do an excellent job, and everyone was very friendly. Now the people in the town in charge of reading down dial ins.............

maybe the people who make this should start sponsoring the dial ins

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.

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
