Yeah I heard that before I went.. this natural spring is it under the track and causing moisture up top? I told them and they said they looked no water.

I've been to HRP, River City Raceway and Ennis. Never had the car float like that at the end. Maybe that is why my ABS decided to wig out.

They never went down the track to look. I watched all night and not once did they go to the end to look.

And yes it causing moisture up top a lot after it rains. What I don't understand is it only does this when it rains a day or two before. It hasn't rained in the area for over a week so I don't understand this.

As for your breaks has it done this since then? If not I would think it's from the water and be glad it did it's job lol hahah

Last I talked to them they said when track gets hot the gaps expand and let water up on track. When track cools gaps close and water stops. That is what they told me when I ran my 9 on nitrous. They said when sun goes down and temp gets cooler the concrete will close the gap and they were going to open the track from 1/8 to 1/4 at night since they shut it down to 1/8 during the day.

Sounds like my benchracing guess was pretty close. A little off on the MPH. Looks like fun!

I had to watch it twice to make sure my eyes weren't playing with me. You need to log your runs. That will tell you a lot about what's going on. Like if traction control is interfereing, pulling timing, hitting your breaks, etc etc. Looked like you had a pretty good start in the second video too.

Man I'm really starting to think this is a vette only thing. I've never had this problem. And EVERYONE that I've heard complain about it has a vette. Although I will say I haven't heard anyone complain about it on nights that I go.

This confirms I won't go back on a Friday night. The announcer needs to be kicked in the ***** and I think traction sucks on Friday's. The time to go is on Saturdays when they are doing the outlaws. That's when I've always ran my best times.
