Please!!! To all the so called racers who can't get down Milan just look at the cars that can. My 63 Dodge's numbers were dead on to a thousand'th the same 60' 1.47 as Norwalk {Monster Mopar},National Trailes, ect. Drag Radial cars running 4.20's,2800hp run what you brung cars going 3.80's. 3 regular Mopar racers in PRO were still there in the Quarter Finals on Saturday and the 9.20 yellow Mopar Won the event. I hope all the cars with traction problems are going to Monster Mopar in Norwalk see you there!

Nobody won that event on a 10.5 tire. I believe the yellow Duster runs 14x32. Was he the winner? Obviously it's easier to hook going 1.47 than it is going 1.27. My car made it to the final 3 cars at this race 2 years ago. It won events at Milan 2 years ago. It has won events every year at various tracks. So it can get down a decent track. NO WAY any radial car could have run a 4.xx on Saturday. I was there the previous Friday with Milan's "full prep". How many All Motor cars spun and clicked before the sun went down? As for Norwalk. I tested there 4 weeks ago on a Friday night. Track was dragged and sprayed. Not to mention Norwalks T/T is $12, Milan is $25. In fact I was at Milan this Friday night. It was OK Friday up until Saturday afternoon, not great but workable.

No one hit 4.2's yet in drag radial at Milan, Friday night heads up prep is much better, see you in Norwalk

That's all I ask for is a decent track and consistent rules!

Sounds like you guys need to have Big Jim Bradshaw or one of his kids come down from Capitol Raceway here in MD to help them figure it out. Watched them spray and drag both lanes the full 1/4 mile one night about 40 mins before curfew just because one Pro Stick car wiggled a little bit at the 1/8th.
