Since I complained I will also give praise.This time the story is completely different. Maybe the Milan crew should take a trip to Pennsylvania to Keystone raceway. This is no high dollar facility but they know how to run a race and prep a track. (maybe VHT is cheaper in PA.) No bald spots, track flat out works. My car went down the track with the wheels up out to the 60 ft clocks w/o issue. Dizusters car made 7 passes today, 9.80's on radials in the sun at 85 degrees plus, all 60ft with-in .009. Never had to worry about the 60 ft falling off .15 like Milan. To bad it's a 6 hour trip.

Doug, I will pass that along to the starter, Louis, and the track crew. They work hard at providing an excellent surface. Loved Dizuster's car!

Chuck , if you have a contact for the starter I'd appreciate it if you could pass it along. I went up for a buyback with $30 in my pocket without realizing it was $35. Told him I'd come back with the $5, and TOTALLY forgot about it until just now. I know it's only $5, but I want to make sire I apologize and square up.

Track was awesome this weekend. When you can go:

1.43
1.43
1.44
1.43
1.43
1.44
1.43

On 7 passes in a row on 275 radials, in a 3700+ car, in 85 degree sunny heat, they are doing something right!

No worries, dizuster. Bill, the track official in the lanes that collected, knows it wasn't intentional. Donate it to your favorite charity.
