How strict are they with street cars not having cages out there? I get 2 passes at HRP then I'm sitting out for the night. Well, I did pill down from a 100 to a 75 shot....

I'm not sure, it's been a while since I've made my way out to Sealy. The last time I went it sucked because there was a lot of dew forming so I couldn't get traction worth ****. I guess just have to play it by ear?

Anyone know how strict they are about cages? HRP is way closer if I'm just going to get kicked out, lol.

So does anyone else know why LSR's track prep always seems to suck? Was it the cold weather? I don't think so because I've raced at HRP in colder weather and dead hooked. Was it because it was the first TNT of the season so there wasn't any fresh rubber laid down? I dunno...either way, I'm probably NOT going to go back there because no matter how much I warmed up my BFG drag radials, I could not hook for the life of me (2.10 sixty was the quickest of the night, and I wasn't alone in that). I'd rather make the drive out to Baytown if that means I can get some good runs. Oh, and this isn't the first time I've gone out there and they've had left a lot to be desired as far as prep.

Yeah, I remember seeing your bad *** wheel stand, but you had to shut it off. I guess having slicks does help, but yeah it was pretty slick all the way down even with my drag radials aired down. Hell, even shifting 2-3, I was spinning pretty badly.
