OSW has a problem on T&T nights with traction. I guess they dont make enough money those nights to prep the track.

OSW is getting a lot better. I admit its still not the best track b/c they dont do a full prep, but then again, would you waste money to prep the track so some idiot in a honda can run water from the burnout box all the way down the track? Ive learned lil tricks from pros like Caveman on when to run that help a lot.

Randy preps the track 3 to 4 passes in each lane with VHT at the begining of the night. It takes a few slick tired cars down the track to get it tacky and the track is usually good for the first few rounds in lanes 1 + 2 as long as your not one of the first few pairs down the track and if there is a good number of slick tired cars in 1 + 2.
If your one of the 200 - 300 street cars in lanes 3,4,5,6 running with the Honda Civic's and Toyota Corrola's that drag water out to the starting line, well that would be why the track sucks. Not to mention street tires take rubber off the track making it even more slippery.
