Same as Wed night the track was prepped good to begin the night went a 1.43 60' on my 1st run , then before 2nd run of coarse someone blew their **** up and oiled half the track, didn't run again until 9pm. Both of my last 2 runs I ran behind 10 or 12 big tire cars (both guys in front of me carried the tires for 50'- 70') but on my 28" MT radials I spun the tires right at the hit. It seems MT dragradials dont work in 40* weather on a cold track.

I saw your last run of the night. You raced that white z28, (loud as sh*t). I knew you could take him, but like you said you spun like a crazy and the track was oiled up from the other car that blew up.....Well it will get better.....

The last 3times I've been to OSW there has been long oildown cleanups , cause of people bringing piece of **** cars that they know are on their last leg. I hope it doesn't happen again today for Night of Fire.

That happened last time I had made the long *** trek out to OSW. This complete jalopy of a car showed up. Why did tech even let this clunker in? I mean it was smoking and running like **** from the get go then the guy went WOT and screwed everyone's night up.

I can understand if your car is normal and there is no forewarning, but this guy that night I'm surprised his car made the drive to the track.
