If Randy would prep every round I would pay $25 for TNT on Wed and Fri.
It's just a shame that the only thing Randy cares about is the $$$

The one advantage to OSW on T n T nights is to run in the back of lanes 1 and 2 after 10 or 12 pairs of big tire cars( good rubber off the line), when most other tracks run slick tire cars with ricers and trucks all together so the track never gets good rubber buildup.

If you go to BMP, Moroslow, Gainsville, Sunshine,Lakeland on T n T nights they are all hit or miss for traction on every run due to the ricers and pickups that go to every track.

OK so the fact that I can dump the clutch @ 2000 RPM on the street with MT DR's and dead hook but can't hook @ OSW on the same tires by slipping the clutch shows I need practce?
Bottom line the track sucks, the only cars that can consistently hook there are slick tire cars.
I'll show you how much practice I need when I run @ Bradenton next Saturday.
You may think it is normal to have to kiss the *** of the track owner and beg them to prep the starting line but I don't, if I am paying to run at a track I expect them to prep so that I can get the best out of my car and get consistent results, if the track is not consistent it makes it alot harder or near impossible to get true results.
Like I said before, if OSW would prep the track every round I would pay $25 even $30 to run there on tnt nights.

Richie, I`m just saying that none of the tracks prep great for T n T because they know the ricers and idiot street drivers will kill the track anyway, at least at OSW you can run the back of 1 and 2 behind all the slick tire cars which you never do,you allways get at the front of the lanes and theres no good rubber buildup until 10 or 12 cars run out of 1 and 2. Next Sat BMP will be great because its a S/Pro, Sportsman point night. Last night OSW had their S/Pro, Sportsman race and traction was awsome.

i think its car/ driver preference. my car cut the best 60's by a good margin and the best e.t by just as much on almost identical nights. not to mention the set up at osw is better as far as getting in to the lanes or parking when its busy as hell imo. i never had one prob at osw on a tire--on a radial of course it was slipping and sliding but why would i race on a street tire?

I hook good a bradenton even when rice messes it up! I've heard from so many guys OSW eats *** and they love BMP. If your car hooks on most tracks except OSW I'd say its an OSW issue! I only 60 1.6 but Im gonna spray outta the hole now!
