Default Thunder Valley

Hey well i went out to thunder valley in Noble, Ok tonight to watch some races, and i noticed that every camaro and corvette ran bad.. 2 c5's could not get out of 14's and also a lt1 camaro that ran a 14.8.. Is this known as a bad prepped track or do these drivers just suck?

That track is known for its inconsistency, and some of my friends were down there and said it wasn't hooking that night. When its wellprepped its great, when its not prepped and as hot/humid as it'll stay til september/october...I think I'll wait to run the car again til then

i used to live in noble and have friends who race dragsters there, that track is one of the worst i have ever been too, and some nites especially TNT nights they wont prep it at all. Also from a stock Lt1 dont expect 13 second times. that mustang just got a good launch apparently

yeah, track prep is hit or miss. I'm running there in September. I've also seen some cars run terrible times there. (driver mod combined with DA)
