I thought they were about even, although during elimenations, there seemed to be more "red" lights in the right lane. I did notice from watching from the finish line area, that allot of cars in the left lane drifted towards the centerline at about the 330 mark.

I noticed the same thing about the drifting to the C/L, Sat nite it seemed the guy's in Super pro were going to the right lane and on Sunday they migrated to the left,,I stayed in the left to take the guess work out of the equation by not jumping back and forth, were the lanes equal pretty close were they dead even no.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

My best 60ft's and lights came from the left lane all weekend, other than that, I definitely didnt have any traction issues. :-)

I had an 11.67 in the right and an 11.65 in the left letting off during eliminations. This could have been a very low 11.5 run if I could have stayed in it. I was fighting launch traction all weekend. Bog one time, blow the tires off the next.

i race there weekly and in two classes usually, i dont notice any difference in the two lanes, although i choose the left lane more, thats because its easier to see the faster car coming on you when your looking to the right, atleast for me...plus i had my uncle and my cousins husband to stay away from both saturday and sunday as cars narrowed...

PS JENNI welcome to PRP the weather changes every ten seconds, the sun musta went in for your last pass when u picked up a tenth and had a cool front buzz through and to top it off tail wind...all that stuff adds up and at PRP its tricky, back and forth back and forth, sometimes DEADLY as can be other times all over the place throughout the day

Some of the 10 runs was in the left lane..I thought up untill that run they was the same..60 ft was the same on that run. just everything else was faster ?
well you all know that once in a while you have a freak run and you just throw it away..it must of been one of them..just happen at a bad time..PS this is Jamie. Jenni's dad
