I was on my street tires, but I made sure to do a lil burnout to dry 'em off and get the **** off before rolling up on the lane.

Running street tires on the track kinda sucks if you spin alot....It kills the VHT. But that can be dealt with.
The cars that would drive straight through the waterbox and pull up the line killed it. They run one after another, so by the time they're all done the line is wrecked.

and we let all the "experts" prep the track since everyone thinks they can do it better
One guy used 10 gallons of vht on the first 60ft for ONE lane
Your car is flyin though....it's gotta suck making a pass after a leaky astro van

We didn't even use 10 gallons when we sprayed the 1/8th. lol What did you think about that prepping? Might have looked crazy, but all the cars that ran once that dried were dead hooking. Even preacher boy made a full rip and had no issues.(Besides the hood 
)
That wasn't my car...It's a friends...and yeah the thing gets a little hairy when it hits that speed bump in the left lane. I'll have my car there this sunday if they're doing the no time nationals again.

I raced that tahoe. Everyone thought that SUV was so fast, unless he wasn't giving it his all when he raced me because I beat him by about a car. Got him out of the whole and stuck about a car behind me the whole time. Before I raced, The guy came up to me and asked to race for money, I should have took advantage of his offer before I raced him for ***** an giggles. Pretty pissed I lost to the GTO though, good race if your on here. Im pissed 1st race left the traction control on, 2nd race took the lane that coolant had been spilt and I guess they just didn't clean it up good enough because I spun for a good 15ft. Had a really good time though, definitely got to do this again soon.

I'd say go walk out there but it's a long walk, so drive then get out I can't remember how much vht (gallons) we'd use when I worked there, but on a nice 60-70* day without direct all-day sunlight, that track would would eat up driveshafts and 7.5''s all day long.....
***** the astro vans

No doubt that the truck was fast but just not as fast as the guy thought it was. Does anyone know what that truck had in it.
And schultz I guess your right just dumped it to high, no excuses. Still pissed though and hope to see the owner of the GTO the next time I go to US 41.
