I guess some people just can't understand that and would rather bust ***** all the time.

I can see it now."We took all your money,sorry we ran out of VHT and you just ran your 100k car into the wall because we are cheap bastards " yea i woke up at 7 and called, they said it was 1/8th and i rolled back over and went to bed. im thinkin about headin to e-town or atco in the next couple weeks tho, i dont feel like ending the season already.
I just got back. HOLY BUSY. there were HUNDREDS of cars there. i've never seen it like that. Saw some dude almost hit the wall right in front of me off the line. I did 1 run. 8.357. That just about equals my 13.06 run last week. I think it works out to 13.09 or something like that. Truck felt like ***, was pinging, but at least i didn't spin all 4 tires this time.

Don, friday night a sweet z06 hit the wall around the 1/8 mile!!!!!!
and im pretty sure Bob Kanze hit the wall also!!!
they didnt "run out" compleatly, but they where mixing it 50 50 and using it very sparingly!!
trust me, if i knew that, i would have brought my own. lol

I saw a Foxbody stang hit the wall on Sunday as well running up top. I only saw the crash after as he was 2 cars behind me and I just finished a run.
I hope he's ok.
I got some new times though
I'm thinking 11's, perfect weather and the car was strong

I've dragraced since I was 18 yrs. old, on many NHRA tracks that are now closed, long before NED even opened. I ran at LVD when Shirley Muldowney used to run there...Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, IMO, NED is run way better than LVD, mainly because they put way more money into the facility than LVD, they have WAY more racers in the course of a season than LVD, and they are WAY more safety conscious at NED. It's the end of the season. Sure, they could be running out of VHT, but it doesn't work that well w/cold temps anyway, and those cold temps make the prepped track even MORE slippery than un-treated asphalt, IMO. People that went to LVD yesterday and were let run the full 1/4 saw a crash or 2 and experienced mega-waiting in staging lanes for ultra-long cleanup times, before the staff there realized that it was unsafe to run 1/4 and switched to 1/8 racing. Some people only got in 1 pass for the whole day. I guess what it comes down to, is that although cool temps bring bragging rights et's and speeds, they also compromise grip throughout the length of the track, and overall track safety. We see it at the very beginning and the very end of every season, it seems. I don't think we should knock track management for making judgement calls (1/4 to 1/8 racing) in the name of safety, that's all. Best wishes. WJ
